Good result on Nilotinib

6 weeks ago I changed from 400g Imatinib to 800 g Nilotinib as I had stopped responding (resistance) and my 10 months PCR since diagnosis had gone up to 28%. I am happy to say that despite a treatment break and reduced dosage for 3 weeks due to side effects, my latest PCR has come back today and it is 9.8%. It is great how quick the new medicine has worked.

What a great result- you must be very relieved (and happy). Will you stay on the reduced dose?

Best... Sandy

Thanks, yes relieved and happy. I am already back on 800g and have been for about 3 weeks, but the last blood was taken when I was still on reduced dose, so possibly even bigger drop next time with luck : )
