After 3 months off of Sprycel, on his check-up it has gone back up to 7.345% So he went back onto his 70 mg of Sprycel yesterday.
His skin was white back June first, after being off of Sprycel for three months his color is back. His blood work has always been in the normal range. Shall wait till the next 3 month appt. and see how he is doing.

Diagnosed Oct 2013 Started 600mg of Tasigna on Nov 4th. Lowered dose a few months later to 300mg due to side affects stayed here declining PCR until March 2015 small jump from 0.0072 to 0.0083 scarred my doc into full dose of Tasigna again 600mg(been miserable since) but reached PCRU 06/15/2015(next test) and have been there ever since. Hoping to have another little one. I have the support of my doc to go off anytime, just scared to jump. might go two years PCRU but he said it wont make much of a difference. I just figured I could possibly go into a trial while preggers if I got the two years behind me.
Nov 8th 2017 went off Tasigna
Dec 1st PCRU off TKI
Jan 5th PCR Detected .0625
Feb 1st PCR Detected .7815
Added 8-6 grams Curcumin daily in Feb
March 3rd PCR Detected 3.2646 YIKES!
stopped trying for baby after February reading. will start new TKI march 16th 2017 (Sprycel)
FYI I'm not done trying for my last little one.

If it was me, I would look to knock the CML back to negative then reduce dosage to a level that maintains PCRU, yet has the least possible side effects. Can't believe the doc doesn't like dose reduction yet was happy to go against guidelines in cessation and only test at three months. Increase should have been picked up earlier. Hope he had a speedy return to negative. :-)After 3 months off of Sprycel, on his check-up it has gone back up to 7.345% So he went back onto his 70 mg of Sprycel yesterday.
