PCR disappointing on Tasigna

Hi All

Well the results of my last BCR/ABL PCR are a disappointment. The first one after starting Tasigna in Jan took my level down to 0.087, next one was 0.027 test 3 weeks ago result is 0.431. Not what I was hoping for.

I feel so well on this treatment I really wanted it to knock Lukie right on the head quickly. Another PB PCR done today, result in two weeks, then discussion as about what next - perhaps increase in dose and if result still rising definately a bone marrow biopsy.

Yours fed up
Pennie.

I'd really like to be at that low figure mine is around 2% after changing from Imatinib to Dasatinib that's after 2 years in total on these drugs, bear in mind pcr figures can jump around a little... mine dropped a full 1% in 3 weeks then straight back up again?

Fingers crossed yours lower again.
