Way to go - happy for you. Like Kat, I would like to know your PCR history for at least the last 3 years prior to stopping. Also, the protocol for PCR testing is every month for at least the first 6 months after stopping, so surprised you are only being tested every 4 months since most who relapse do so int he first 6 months after stopping. WOuld like to understand the rational for this frequency of PCR testing - thanks
