BCR ABL READING

Hi everyone 

sometimes i read other members BCR test results % different than mine,So i hope to get a straight answer here, so I understand:

my BCR results are 0.070 % the previous month 0.050, but i saw others mentioning their results as 0.0700 % ! Is that the same as 0.070? 
The reason why i ask is because i wish to know if my value is low enough to lower my Sprycel from 80 mg to 50 mg or less! 

if you know the answer, please let me know.

I’ll give you an example I am 0.077% (mr3) my doc ignores everything after the 1st 7 so he would say you are 0.07 and to be honest I do when people ask. I think some people just like to be more exact when they explain things. I guess you could argue that I am closer to 0.08 but who cares with such an insignificant difference. It certainly is significant though if it’s half a log lol
