Switched labs from Quest Diag. to Lab Corp:
Last 3 results from Quest were all 0.000 not detected both on FISH and BCR/ABL1 etc.
Now these new results from Lab Corp:
b2 a2 IS %: 1.146
b3 a2 IS % <.0032
e1a2 transcript % <.0032
* Was taken off of Sprycel at 50 MG daily for approx 35 days because of bad shortness of breath and now I'm presently taking 20 MG of Sprycel daily for the past 28 days.
What does the LAB CORP *1.146 relate to in comparison to QUEST DIAG. FISH/ BCR/ABL1
Totally confused right now
Thanks for an insight,
Chuck
* I spoke to my Oncologist this morning, it means PCR is back, however, I've only been on the new lower dosage of 20 MG of Sprycel for approx 21 days when this blood test was taken and I was off of the 50 MG Sprycel for 35 days prior.
I have an appoinment for this coming Friday and we will give it another 6 to 8 weeks of 20 MG of Sprycel before any further actions on meds are made
depending on new blood test results in late Sept/ early Oct 2019.
