    Hi
    The team are not around to answer your question due to the xmas holiday until 10am on Tuesday. This is probably going to be a bit late for you - so I am sending you a private message.
    Remember there are always a lot of blood tests with mtx - they are always on top of things - so in a way this is routine to check and re-check.
    Take care
    Jo
