One year on Result

Hi everyone

Been back to see my Consultant for the results of my year Bone Marrow Biopsy, a little disappointed as it appears the sample taken to be tested at Addenbrooks is not a good sample.  My Consultant does not wish to do another as my blood tests show that I am now BCR ABl ABl 0.014 which is slightly up on my last result of 0.010 but he does not seem worried.  He is certain that that the philidephia Chromosome will not show up.

Should I be pleased and just wait for my next bone marrow

I am on dasatinib

HiJacqui - IMHO i don't think you should be worried about an 0.004 increase. It is a great result after just 12 months. My doctors at the hammersmith have been happy that I have hovvered around 0.1 for the last few years, and finally hit MMR with my last results (0.045) after just under 4 years on Imatinib. Rob

Hi jacqui... yes you should be pleased  with this result. The 'rise' is insignificant... and as Rob says this is a great result in the time you've taken to get to such a low pcr.

best wishes

Sandy
