My father has recently been diagnosed with cml-cp and his cbc report before and after 1 week taking dasatinib 100mg is attached. Now next cbc is scheduled after 15 days? I want to know is there a need to do cbc before 15 days to check for side effect or we should perform it after 15 days only? How frequently cbc should be checked?

My father has been diagnosed with cml-cp. I have read about a lot of patients and mostly patients are taking imatinib 400mg but doctor has recommended dasatinib 100mg to my father. Why dasatinib is preferred over imatinib and does this drug is equally effective or cause any bad effect on health. Currently my father has no other health issue and taking up dasatinib from 15 days and it is working. But why it is chosen and is it equally effective or will it cause any bad side effects?

What are the chances of disease progression or mutation while taking dasatinib if a person is suffering from cml-cp? No symptoms facing and currently dasatinib is working.
