Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 T was dx'd in May 2005 and have taken 400 mg of gleevec since. These are my PCR results: 11/05 .007 Vanderbilt molecular lab 5/06 .17 MD 9/06 .32 MD 4/07 .06 MD 2/08 .0007 ARUP labs 8/08 .006 Quest labs 10/08 .015 Quest labs I know it is hard to compare different lab results. The dr at MD said that Quest results looked more impressive b/c they added an extra 0. Have I lost 1.5 log of response since Feb? My local dr thinks we should up the gleevec or change drugs. First we will do the Novartis test for gleevec levels, then I asked for 1 more PCR from Quest in about 6 weeks. Should I ask for a BMB for cytogenetics to be sure the CCR remains? Does a 2 log reduction correspond to CCR? Sorry to have so much information and so many questions, but any insight you may have would be really appreciated. I will seek a new Dr at Vanderbilt in January, but I would like one more Quest PCR before I go. Thanks-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
