Re: What is a FISH test?

[Guest guest]

They told me in UW hospital that they do much further testing at

Mayo's and it has been 1 week today since they did the brushings and

sent them to Mayo's and I have not heard a word yet.....I even called

the Dr. in Madison and they said the report was not back from Mayo's

yet.....they tell me my Dr. is the #1 Liver Doctor in the Nation.

His name is Dr. Mussat. Has anyone heard of him? Very nice

concerned man.....
