I received my December PCR and bone marrow.
PCR, for the second time in a row, is "undetected". So that's good.
But my bone marrow shows 95% of my cells are Trisomy 8, up from 65% a year ago when my bone marrow was last checked.
The only thing I can infer is that is the reason I still have myelosuppression (minor, but not insignificant).
Reading on Trisomy 8 seems to relate to MDS. I don't have MDS...at least not yet.
I only take 20mg Sprycel.
