Hi.
First of all, THANK YOU for being there.
I was diagnosed 6 months ago, BCR=92%.
I started with Bosutinib (clinical trial with Atezolizumab), and my BCR leves dropped to 0,5% in only 6 weeks !!! However, my liver gtp raised to 631 (normal is 35-40).
So, after 6 weeks break, my BCR level raised to 2.45 (I expected that, obviously).
2 weeks ago I started Imatinib. BCR test was repeated today, and it has raised again, to 5.04.
Is it possible that only 2 weeks is not enough for finding out if Imatinib is working for me?
The chronology:
- Mar/21: diagnosis, BCR = 92%. Starting Bosutinib.
- May/21: BCR = 0.5. . Liver GPT too high. Starting break.
- 05/Jul/21: BCR = 2.45. End of break. Starting Imatinib.
- 19/Jul/21: BCR = 5.04.
Doctor says we have to wait. She is going to repeat the test on September third. If BCR raises again, she is going to change treatment.
What do you think?
Thank you.
PD: Sorry for my English, I live in Spain and I just found you googling !!!
