Dear Katy, 0.169% is not a low PCR value since you relapsed from 0 to 0.169%. In most labs 1-2% correlates to 10-20% Ph+. I know a patient whose doctor started Sprycel when his PCR went positive after he was off Gleevec for intolerance. The doctor did not wait for the patient to have a 20-50% Ph+ value. That is what PCRs are done for, if there is any sign of relapse, the doctor has to think of treatment options. You have disease, Laura, you have had a molecular relapse, so you should be talking to your doctor about Sprycel.
