Stay calm Mark,

It could be en error. Were all the tests done at the same lab????

And like Tracey said..there are many other medications out there to help.

Hi Mark,

I know how scary this can be but you need to know that mistakes DO happen.

IF (and that's a big if), the increase is in fact valid, then you should

have a mutation test done to see if you have a mutation. That information

will be useful when choosing another drug because some mutations respond to

some drugs better than others.

Try not to panic. My first thought is that this is probably a mistake but

even if it's not, there are several options available to you now that will

give you hope for a stable outcome.

Let us know what the second test says,

Tracey
