Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have CML-CP. I am on Gleevec for the last year. My query is about skin whitening as it has turned too white. Will this side effect go away?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I would suggest you consult an oncologist about drug cessation if you are in complete molecular remission as evaluated by the BCR-ABL test and completed a minimum of five to eight years of therapy.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
