Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Dear Dr Furman, I finished 6 cycles of FCR a little less than 4 weeks ago. I've always assumed that I'd have a BMB sometime afterwards in hopes of finding out that I have the desired PCR neg result. Or not... My local onc, who is associated with Stanford, says Stanford does not do BMB after FCR & only does a Flow on the blood, which is his preference as well. But this is not at all as thorough a test, is it? We did one this past week, simply because I could get some labs done for "free", having met my deductible. But three weeks after the last FCR, couldn't there still be some circulating cells? I'm still torn about having the BMB. Could you discuss which post-chemo test is the most accurate, and what is the desired time frame to have it done? As always, your responses are so much appreciated. Thank you, Marcia in CA dx'd 2000 FCR 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
