Hi Drazen, My first two oncologists did not perform a PCR, the third one was quite disturbed by this as it is what measures how you are responding to treatment. Here are a few articles I wrote on the subject, hope it helps: Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia: Measuring Its’ Response<http://cmlleukemia.blogspot.com/2011/06/chronic-myelogenous-leukemia-measuring.html> My New Oncologist for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia<http://cmlleukemia.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-new-oncologist-for-chronic.html>Polymerase Chain Reaction Test, aka PCR; Results of My Second One<http://cmlleukemia.blogspot.com/2011/07/polymerase-chain-reaction-test-aka-pcr.html>
