My husband, George, was diagnosed 7/20/04 100% Phillies. He just had a FISH and PCR on !0/20/04--three months to the day. Dr. Paquette at UCLA said three months is the earliest. But of course he had regular--at first weekly and then bi-weekly blood tests to see what his WBC was doing. THe WBC went to normal range within 3 weeks.
Hope this helps. By the way he was diagnosed by a BMB, but Paquette uses only blood.
