Follow up bloods track a number that’s expected to fall over time after treatment, and how fast it falls varies a lot between people. Slower than hoped is common and is a reason to keep monitoring rather than a sign treatment failed.
The reason nobody in the room was alarmed is that they see this regularly. Ask them directly what they’d want to see and by when, so you have something concrete instead of an open ended worry.
