I have been on Scemblix since September 2023 and have been tolerating it well. Down to .033% on my PCR after a .027% in March. Would love to get to undetectable and get off of this medicine but may be on it for life, just now coming up to 5 year mark since diagnosis. If I can stay at this PCR level without going up I guess I will take it for now . Retiring and hope less stress will get me over the hump
