Hi Donna, The FISH results mean that Jim is now 8%Ph+. 8% of all the cells looked at by FISH are positive for CML. Do you have a previous test result to compare to? One thing to bear in mind is that every lab has a cut-off point for false positives and that can be as high as 10% in some labs. False positives mean that though the result shows up positive, it could actually be negative and you need to ask the lab for the false positive cut-off point.
This is very low level disease so again, the question is what was Jim's last FISH result?
