My bone marrow was 60% when diagnosed in June of this year. My first pcr test was at 29% in July, it is down to 0.023% as of October 31st. So far so good! 🙏

Thank you for your comment and sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Unfortunately, without knowing what the initial baseline PCR was, it is hard to say what the log reduction is. Regardless, a PCR of under 4% is very good, so I would be happy about that.
And doctor decided mutation test on December 2023.but i taking imetnib 400 mg regularly
I’m not sure I relate to this. I just take tasigna. It does have side effects. But I deal with ‘em

Thank you for your comment. p190 and p210 are different variants of leukemia. The p210 version is more common with CML patients.

Thank you for your comment. That was good that your mom was able to stop the medicine for several months. Sorry to hear that the PCR has started to increase. If she continues to take her medicine there is a chance in the future she can go off the medicine. But it would have to be a few more years into the future before she can do that.
