I am taking 400mg of Gleevec and undergoing radiation treatments for prostate cancer. Are there any interactions that I should be aware of?
Gleevec/radiation interactions?

I think it’s very likely that you’ll be fatigued. Your blood I take it is “off” which is why you’re taking Gleevec and you may already feel fatigue because of your counts. I had radiation for breast cancer and felt slight fatigue - I was told I was one of the few lucky ones. I was not on Gleevec yet.
