Imatinib should be stopped only if BCR ABL level is in complete molecular response levels for three consecutive years. Almost half of the patients in whom we stop Imatinib, the response is lost and BCR ABL levels increase. In such patients (just as in yours) it is advisable to restart Imatinib
Next Steps
Do a CBC You should consult a Medical Oncologist.
Health Tips
Do not take any decisions about starting or stopping Imatinib without consulting a Medical Oncologist.
