I am not familiar with this way of expressing a FISH results, so maybe you or someone else can explain it....but CCR is great! Usually FISH is done on 200 cells and the results are reported as a number like 50/200 or a %, which would be 25%.....and in your Mom's case it would be Zero %. I am not sure what her starting number came from?? but it is probably just an alternative way of reporting FISH........do you know Zavie? Anyway, time for a little celebration for you both. C.
