Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Tracey!! Thank you soooo much for your info!! My doctor was really excited when he called yesterday, but I don't see him for three more months. Blessings Jo-Dee Tracey <traceyincanada@...> wrote: Hi Jo-Dee, This is great. What you are reporting is your PCR test. It measures how many cells have the BCR/ABL fusion transcript. BCR/ABL fusion transcripts are what cause the Philadelphia chromosomes to form so you want as few of them as possible. You're doing fantastic and heading in the right direction.
