Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I know that I have asked this question already but I lost my responses. I have been on Gleevec for almost four months and reached cytologic remission last month. My doctor drew some additional blood this past week to now conduct a FISH test and do a PCR for the BCR-ABL protein.. Can someone please remind me the difference between the two tests and why we do both. Also, my doctor told me that you can be FISH negative but still have the BCR-ABL protein in your body. Can someone please elaborate on that and explain how that is possible, and whatthat means as far as remission. Thank You Efrem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
