After having a problem with Bosulif at 500, I restarted at 200 and after 6 weeks with no problems, I moved up to 300, where I have been for 7 months now.

What is your PCR now and has it stayed stabled since being on 300 mg?
Dx - 05/2011; PCR: 15.04; Fish: 87% Slow responder due to pancytopenia. Current - Bosulif - Nov: 2012, Mar 2016 lowered to 300 mg. 07/16 back to 400 mg. Clinical trial drug, Promacta, Feb 2013, for low Platelets.
CyCR - Aug 2014, Positive for 1 chromosome Sep 2015. PCR: 12.77 in Oct, 2012 to 0.04 (MDA) in Mar, 2016. 4/2016 - 0.126 (Local lab (IS); 05/2016 - 0.195 (local); 6/2016 - 0.07 (MDA); 7/2016 - 0.03 (local) 9/13/2016 - 0.16 (MDA); 9/26/2016 - 0.31 (MDA); 11/2016 - 0.012 (local); 01/2017 - 0.24 (MDA); 04/2017 - 0.09 (MDA); Cytogenetics show der(1:7)(q10;p10)7 chromosome mutation.

After 6 months at 300mg, I had my first MMR reading in 6 years.

That's awesome and another success story on being able to still achieve MMR even at a lower dosage than what's generally considered the optimum dosage. May take a bit longer, but with less side effects, well worth trying. Thanks for sharing...very encouraging and will be talking to my Dr soon about reducing down to 300.
