I started on Imatinib, 5 months later had severe bone pain in my shoulders, started on Dasatinib went 11 months and developed severe plueral effusion, switched to Bosutinib, and the PE increased and then switched back o Imatinib. with no decrease in the PE I'm now on Tasigna. I'm still holding CMR now for 2 years now. Also still 2 years now with a Pleurx catheter. (PE from Sprycel.)
