Hi all,
I learnt about my first BCR-ABL uptick yesterday. I know this isn't entirely unusual and it may just be a blip, but it's still quite distressing. I have to go in for another blood test next week, with a follow up appointment three weeks after.
I'm on 100mg Dasatinib, diagnosed Dec 2019. I had to switch from Imatinib, having not got to 10% by three months. I'm in CCyR, but my Dr says that if I go above 1%, he'll be forced to move me to a new TKI, likely Ponatinib, including the usual mutation tests. Apparently the success rate on Ponatinib after failing two TKIs is 50%? Those aren't re-assuring odds!
