Blood work
Sorry to keep having questions but how often should you have bloodwork? My dr. doing it at 4 weeks to begin with. I see different opinions so want to make sure they are doing as often as they should. If we do 4 weeks should it be more often after that depending on what labs say?
Thanks!
Thanks!

* week 12 - Indicates treatment duration and/or futility
Undetectable indicates more weeks of dual therapy
Detectable 1000 IU/mL indicates futility, discontinue
* week 24 - Detectable indicates futility, discontinue
* End of Treatment
Undetectable requires additional assessment at post week 24
Detectable indicates partial response
* 24 Week Follow Up
