My clinical neuro told me in Sept. that I had zero B cells at the six month mark each time and could go nine months in between infusions once out of the trial. At my last Quest blood draw they confirmed that they can test for the B cell count. Extending the time in between infusions lowers the cancer risk.
My sister who does not have MS, nor the BRCA gene, got diagnosed with breast cancer this fall. So, even without the Ocrevus you never know.
I just passed the two year mark of no new lesions or relapses. Still get spasms if I eat too much sugar or white rice and tingling if accidentally ingesting dairy or too much sugar. Hoping to stay on Ocrevus if insurance allows.
