PCR Result.

Hi
Had my latest PCR results today and its 0.015 on 600 mg Nilotinib. Im trying a lower dose of 400mg once a day and will know the results in June. Keeping my fingers crossed that i will see an improvement in the side effects.

Just sent a kidney stone for analysis which I passed last week to see if there is any relation to any of my medication or diet. Guess i will know next week.
The pain passing the stone was unbelievable.

Still have one left but it does not seem to be going anywhere so lets hope it stays put.

dear Steven,
congratulations on your PCR which- if it were on the IS would be equivalent to a 4 log reduction. Given that it is the HH test then you can be confident that it is pretty low and if compared to the IS labs may even be lower than 4 log ;o)
I do hope you can safely reduce your dose and maintain that level of response. Side effects are a big issue for the long term given that a majority of pts will not be able to stop-

Kidney stone sounds like a nightmare! again, I hope that the other stone does not cause you trouble.

Best wishes,
Sandy
