Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi everyone, Anyone can help me try what is happening with my PCRs test? I use take samples at 2 labs same time, but in the last months the results are bit conflicting. LAB 01 use a personal scale LAB 02 use International scale 16 months LAB 01 = 3,09 log LAB 02 = 0,039% (IS) 19 months LAB 01 = 4,39 log LAB 02 = 0,002%(IS) 25 months LAB 01 = 3,33 log LAB 02 = 0,0000 (IS) 26 months LAB 01 = 3,42 log LAB 02 = 0,0026% (IS) As can you see , at 25 months in the LAB 01 show a increase of 1 log ( 4,39 to 3,33) while the LAB 02 show 0,000 ????? After that, 26 months the things seems to be more stable but LAB 02 it was 0,000 now show a small increase 0,0026%? What all of this means? Below I show a chart whit the results. http://i38.tinypic.com/2dv1obq.jpg Ciro Dx 05/2008 Gleevec 400 mg since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi Ciro, It means that you are in a great place with your CML. You might want to ask each of the labs what their sensitivity is for their PCR testing. Some are 1 in 1,000,000 and others are 1 in 100,000. That might explain the difference. Also, remember that it takes 3 consecutive results to establish a trend. You are doing just fine.
