"I have ALL Phil+, my Dr. put me on Sprycel after my bone marrow (stem cell) transplant as a precautionary measure. Initially, I suffered the side effects, mainly pleural edema, but different from others, I had a drainage done (through my back), which seemed to cure it immediately. I stayed off the Sprycel for 1 week, then went back on it at a lower dosage (40 mg once a day). I have grittiness of the eyes (eyes are not dry, they tear a lot, in fact), a little edema in the legs and feet. I don't really have anything bad to say about Sprycel, I have nothing to compare it to. I'm alive, though. Should be cured in another year. I also am on the study where this drug is provided at no cost."
