Hi, my mom was dx with chronic myelogenous leukemia in Oct 2002 and with NSCLC in Sept 2003. She is taking Gleevec 200mg for the CML and went through 4 rounds of chemo between Oct 2003-Jan-2004, and is now on Iressa. She is experiencing frequent bouts of diarrhea with the Iressa. A nurse at her hospital suggested taking Iressa every other day. My questions:
1. Does anyone else have both these types of cancer?
2. Is anyone taking Iressa every other day to ease the symptoms of diarrhea?
3. Anyone have any other suggestions to ease the diarrhea?
Thank you,
tchin
