Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this site that is always so helpful and encouraging. I was diagnosed in May 2007 with WBC of 253,000 and found out today that I am already FISH negative (by peripheral blood). Praise the Lord! At the beginning I never thought that this would happen. And even now, I am having a hard time believing that it happened so quickly. I have one question though. I thought that the FISH test only tested 200-500 cells but my results said " the limit of detection for this assay is 1 in 2,000 cells " . My Dr said that I am FISH negative but when I look at the results, it says the test was RT-PCR. Does this mean that it wasn't a FISH test, but a not so sensitive PCR test? Either way, I am thinking this is good news. My birthday is Friday and I couldn't ask for a better present! Thanks again to everyone!
