Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Lana- Sorry to hear about your diagnosis....You are at the right place. This site is very useful and comforting to talk to people walking the life you are going thru too. You will get comfort knowing that the side effects you suffer are also normal with others as well. You are not alone! The PCRU is detected with the PCR test the doctors do to detect the actual leukemic levels in the blood, but I will leave that explanation to the pros on here. When it gets to " u " undetectable, you still have CML its just no longer detectable with the technologies they have out there thus far. They will post exactly what you need to know about it. I am curious, if you are willing to share, your personal journey up to this point. Age, family, location, how where you diagnosed, etc. Again, welcome to the site and hope you will continue to stay informed on here.

My WBC was 32,000 and after 2 weeks of Gleevec are now 10,000. My question is what is PCRU exactly? How is that measured?
