That is a big jump, what was your result prior to 0.00?

I often say that we should not trust single PCR test results, especially if it is zero. This is against human nature, but it avoids disappointment. Since your PCR prior to the zero was .06% you should wait and see what the next PCR shows to have a better trend line. You are just over 1 year since diagnosis so you are doing well.

HI, as time goes on you will still have blimps at least I surely have. It's been 6 years now and I finally had reached MMR last 2 PCR test. The last one I just got back is now .137 I think it was. And the one before it was .027 or something so now I've lost MMR, seems it just may not be in the cards for me. I stay close to it. But we have to look at it as blimps not our numbers going up. At least I'm trying to look at it that way after all this time! Mine has never been steady .
Hope it was just a lab blimp for you !
Take care Cathy

I got my first PCRU reading earlier this year, over 2yrs after Dx, then bounced up to 0.07 last month. Oncologist says as long as I'm below 1.0, he has no plans to change course.
