PCR fluctuating

Hello
I am on imatinib since diagnosis. Recent PCR is 0.013 IS @42 months

@18 month-undetactable
21 month - 0.022
24 month - undetactable
27 month - undetectable
33 month - 0.022
39 month - 0.042
42 month - 0.013

Is fluctuations at this level is normal? Should i switch to other TKI? Plz comment.

Totally normal. 

You are at MR4, virtually. PCR is not an exact science, and if you test the same blood twice you will get two different results.

You're doing great!

David.
