I think that one of the standards for monitoring for residual leukemia and any changes is to have the pcr every 3 months.....this is the test that will pick up any change first.

OHSU stretches standard blood work out to every 6 weeks. They want to be on top of any problems with the liver, which these drugs are all hard on. It is possible for some very stable patients they go longer than this???
