I am on imatinib but the side effects has gotten so much worse the last 2 months that at my next appointment with the doctor will insist on changeing to something else.
Everyone starts out on imatinib here because its by far the cheapest and we get it free from the hospital, then gets moved to Glivec or tasigna or something else depending on side effects.
For me the fatigue have been the worst I can't walk up to the 2nd floor, always worked many hours but now, I can work 2-3 hours every second day but due to that I have been approved for what we call Flexjob here, which means I work what I can maybe 10 hours a week but I still get paid a full salary and health care here is free so I am very lucky.
