Thanks for the kind words, Judy! In answer to Janne's note, I was in fact exercising a bit the morning of the PCR test with my dogs. But not enough, I would have thought, to elevate my blood levels. I was dehydrated, however, from lack of water from air flights. The Uric acid level in my blood was actually high (still in the normal range, but right at the high level) when it was tested from the metabolic sample they took. It was much higher than what would be normal for me and I attribute it to lack of water from flying. I was quite thirsty the morning of the test and didn't drink water until after the samples were taken.
I don't know - maybe mild dehydration could explain it - but I am still disappointed that my PCR is at best flat instead of dropping further. I was hoping I could go Curcumin alone after stopping Sprycel and be the (cute) poster child for low dose Sprycel. Now I don't think that will be possible. I haven't given up the quest - but after the next test, I expect to know. It's always the next test - isn't it...for all of us.
