Quick question to the group - I have been taking 100mg of sprycel for the past 18 months. I have always had a downward trend in my PCR ABL number. In May I got my MMR and believe my number was .08 this past July. I just had my 3 month check up and the number was .18. My doctor wants to see me back in 1 month to retest. If the number has not gone down she would like to test for mutations.
My doctor told me that she has seen other patients numbers fluctuate and that this is a small bump, but she is being cautious. I can’t help but think this could be a margin of error with the lab or simply a blip in the big picture. I’m also very nervous about it.
Has anyone in the group had an experience like this? If so, what was your outcome?
