I was diagnosed in 2008, took gleevec for a few months then became unresponsive to it, switched to tasigna, very mild sides compared to gleevec and have been in remission now going on 4 years. Not taking any oral chemo since remission, have less brain fog and stomach issues but still am very fatigued and bruise easily.
Have a new outlook on life, stopping to smell the flowers as it were, you never know when that last day is, let the little trival things go and focus on what's really important.
