Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Thank you Tracey. I've mentioned a BMB several times recently. I'm going to make it a formal reqest now. Thanks again. [ ] Re: Positive Fish Hi , Easier said then done; but try not to panic. The first question I would ask is what type of probe they used to do the FISH and what the known margin of error is. Depending on the type of probe, you can easily have a false positive rate of up to 5% so your 3% could infact be a false positive. When was the last time you had a BMB? If it wasn't within the last 9 months or so, I would ask for another one just to see what's going on in the marrow and to ease your mind.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 , The help you need is mental and oral...Mental in trying not to worry/get disappointed and oral in taking the 600mg and drinking plenty of water. I mean more than double what you have been taken (if you haven't been taking the reco daily dose). I honestly believe a positive mind cures much and God and his appointed servants (doctors/pharmacists/patients) do the rest... Take Care and drink that water...Please...
