Imatinib, 2 years control

Hi guys, I just want to share my results of my bcrabl tests. I am currently taking Imatinib 400 mg/day. I am worried that my last control does not get low, i thought this month i will be undetected, but no, i don’t know what to do , please, any advice or suggestions. 
All my tests were in the same lab.

- 12/March/2020 : 170% (diagnostic)
- 22/June/2020: 2.7% (3rd month control)
- 14/September/2020: 0.33% (6th month control )
- 09/March/2021: 0.028%(12th month control)
- 02/June/2021: 0.019% (15th month control)
- 27/Sept/2021: 0.0033% (18th month control)
- 07/March/2022: 0.0051% (24th month control)

Thanks in advance, 

Mil

This is a great result. Many people go years before seeing an undetectable result and some people never see undetectable. Your results are nothing to worry about. Congrats!

Thank you ColoradoGuy for your answer.

I was worried because in my last test there is an increase in my result, the previous one was  lower than the last one. 

That is not much of a difference. Results do not continually go down forever in the vast majority of cases. There is slight ups and downs with an overall trend down. If it continues upward and in bigger jumps then it is something to look to look into. Stay calm and wait for your next one. It will probably go down again. You could also e on a plateau for a few months before another trend down.

Thank you ColoradoGuy. You just give me peace and calm, i really appreciate it.
