Hello,
Imatanib has common side effects like GI upset like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fatigue and so on. However there are some serious and rare side effects like vomiting of blood or swelling of the abdomen. These side effects can be very effectively tackled by Homeopathy.
I have specialized in Homeopathic treatment for Cancer and will be able to help you well.
Please consult for further help.

Every anticancer drug has so many side effects but they are unavoidable and surely very less severe then the cancer itself. So please follow your consultant advice properly. Some of side effects can be managed but not at cost of tumor itself.
Next Steps
please do online consultation.
Health Tips
keep regular followup to your consultant as advised.
