Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I received my result from my last PCR. It was 11.3. My previous test was in Oct, that was 10.5. The PA told me not to be worried about it. It isn't much of a change. I have a bone marrow biopsy scheduled next week. She said they will do another molecular with the marrow.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi, I would be concerned. From your numbers it looks like the Gleevec is not having any effect. There has to be a reason for this.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Zavie, I should have included my first PCR. That was 42. So I did have a very large change from Sept to Oct. I will talk more with them when I go on Wed for my bmb. Jen > > Hi, > > I would be concerned. From your numbers it looks like the Gleevec is not > having any effect.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi Jen, Going from a PCR of 42 to 10 is almost no change at all. And going from 10 to 11 in the last 3 months is no change at all. Something is not right.
