Hi, I have always had only a down trend with my PCR results, except of one time. I was concerned at that time, but my oncologist told me that a lot of times they see this up and down shifts in PCR's. However I understand your concern. It doesn't make any sense. One time it says that your test is negative, so one would assume that it will stay that way, but it doesn't. Oh well. Hang in there. I wish you that next time your result will be not detectable and will stay that way forever!!! Livia

This is how it's been since 2/22/'05......0.006%; 6/14/05....0.008%; 3/6/'06.....0.002%; 7/10/06.....0.007%; 10/18/06.....0.002%; 2/7/07.....not detected; & now the 0.013%. My question is this....do I have anything to be concerned with.....or is this just normal with Gleevec patients? I was hoping for it to stay the same.....but guess not to be.
