i started this blog to help my family and friends to keep up with my disease (Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia), but realized along the way that i was reading lots of blogs for support and info, so i'm including some information simply because other CMLers might be interested. additionally, i find more and more that i need a place to express somethings that i wouldn't otherwise.

bcr-abl results
so, i got results for my 6 month bcr-abl test (this is the test that tells the %age of white blood cells show the Philadelphia mutation in my blood. the results are not "good" but they aren't precisely bad either. the % a couple of months ago was .08%. (that's really quite good). last week the results were 4% (that's not good, but it is within the margin of error of the test performed). we'll doing another in 6 weeks to see if the trend is going to continue up (that would very bad) or if it was a fluke or the results were actually erroneous. i'll keep you posted.

I'm sorry to hear about the iffy results, hopefully the next test will be a good result that clears up the uncertainty.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I am not getting the email updates for you. I hope it is just an error. I am glad they know to tell you that is what it could be!
