The best doctor to answer this is your oncologist, who knows your situation the best. If you are unsure, perhaps get a second opinion form another oncologist who can look at all your test results, not just the current ones. Trends in your bloodwork are very important as well. How long have you been diagnosed? There are many factors that influence the treatment decisions. Good luck!

It sounds reasonable, if no progression or symptoms possibly associated. Your hematologist remains your best resource going forward.
