I'm going to make a prediction that your PCR result will be much lower than three months ago! 
P.S. The 2016 in your signature line had me confused. I have a bad memory.

I didn't realize it takes 2 weeks for results..So now the waiting game..I guess I will post my results on the new site...my WBC went from 6.1 to 8.7 so I'm little worried but gotta remain positive. Onc says my PCR should be 10% or less, but if not we may look at changing drugs..

In your signature line you should show your PCR as a percent. 0.58 therefore should read 58% or just 58. That would be more typical for a starting PCR percentage at diagnosis. Eventually you will get to a "percentage" below 0.58% and eventually below 0.01%
