Hi sandy,
After your advice I spoke to my oncologist about BMT .He told to wait for for my 3rd month pcr test.If Iam in 2nd chronic phase we may go for BMT and if the blasts are less than 10% we may continue with the current dosage of 800mg/day of Nilotinib.I had my 3rd month bmb last week .The results should that
1>morphologically in remission with no abnormal cells
2>Bcr-abl at 2.209%(art pcr).
My doctor said the results was really good as I was diagnosed in blast phase with 30% blasts. I may have to go for BMT if I do not achieve zero Bcr abl by 12 month pcr test.I am going to have a second opinion with a BMT specialist this week. Kindly suggest.
I have some doubt regarding the following kindly advise
1> can I have pomegranate and oranges while on Nilotinib .I stopped taking them after my platelets dropped to 48000 and was taken out of medication for 2 weeks.my doc says it is ok to have them
2>what are the chances of my Bcr abl percentage increasing again as I was diagnosed in blast phase
