Congratulations Rodney,
Getting to Zero is definetly a milestone worth marking by celebration! I think you mean you will be getting a quantitative PCR which will give you an approximate idea of the residual leukemic cell load. Qualitative just tells you positive or negative. If I am not mistaken the doctors in Nova Scotia have taken advantage of the Novartis Q PCR program, which provides quantitative PCR results. It will be interesting to hear what your results are, keep us posted. All the best to you, Cheers, Cheryl-Anne "Rodney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey group, don't post a lot but do read posts often.
