After a c.t. scan was reviewed by my oncologist I was told that A portion of the G.I.S.T. tumor low in my abdomen has grown and is against my bowel. they set up an appointment with the gastro surgeon at foxchase cancer center in philadelphia and they hope he says he can cut that portion out, If that happens I would continue treatment with gleevec 400Mg,'s a day.. I'm really concerned... Any experience or thoughts from anyone??? Thanks, Michael
