              My partner was diagnosed with mucosal in her mouth 3-11. She had surgery to remove upper palate and did radiation follow up. In 12-11 it had moved to a lymph node in her neck and some lung nodules. She started dasatinib at 100 mg a day in January of 2012. Her first set of scans showed immediate improval on reduction of  the cancer. In March they reduced the dosage to 70mg a day due to severe fatigue and stomach pain. Since then She has done well on the drug and continues to see improvement. We go to MD Anderson every 28 days for blood work and scans everyother month. Her main complaint at this time with the drug is still a feeling of tiredness. Hope this helps.
