Hello Sathish,
Welcome to the CML support group. It's hard to say if your CML is expanding or if your test results might be inaccurate. Have your tests always been performed by the same laboratory since your diagnosis? Are the 56% and 20% positive CML results from the Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) report? Do you normally have FISH and PCR tests done at all of your checkups?
