Well, I reached PCRU last November after running in a range of 3-3.5 log reductions for the prior year.  Quest Atlanta received the Nov sample, held it for two days, then sent it to Quest Virginia for some reason.  Wasn't able to find out how long the sample sat, but was a little worried about a false negative due to the time the sample may have waited on testing.  Regardless, it came back PCRU for the first time so I was quite happy.  However, my Feb 25th sample just came back as 0.0143% - still good, almost 4 logs, but still a big let down from a PCRU. 

Just felt like expressing my feelings and this is a safe place to do it.

Sorry to hear that! I know the PCRU is a huge safety cushion. I hope you can regain it in time. Maybe it's a blip, or you're bouncing on the way to a solid PCRU.

I feel for you.  I just lost mine too.  I am trying to forget about it and not worry myself crazy over the possible start of losing response to dasatinib (obviously, I am a catastrophic thinker).

Hoping better results come your way,

Tedsey

Lost mine too with a slow upward trend.  Increasing dose each time to try and get it back.  I'd like to think maybe the labs got more sensitive but I really don't think that is the case.

Hi

Hope you are doing well. When did you achieve MMR ie after initiating Gleevic ?
