There are different types of blood cancer. Treatment is different for different cancers. As you have mentioned he was started on imatinib tablets he might be having CML (chronic myeloid leukemia). It may take a month or two to become blood counts normal. He needs to repeat bone marrow examination after 3 Months of starting tables to assess response.

If a diagnosis of Essential thrombocythemia is being considered, then you should see a clinical hematoloist .Imatinib is unlikely to cause renal stone.

If BCR ABL1 transcript is positive as you have stated, then it confirms a diagnosis of CML. In that case you have to take Imatinib or other TKIs for the treatment. It cannot be ET if BCR ABL is positive.
