Hi Anjana and thanks so much. I figured that might be the case. I'm hoping for good results also. Is there a trend of a 4 or 5 year mark on the taking of Gleevec, where patients are losing their negative status? I've noticed such a trend on our list? The question is? Whether to take more Gleevec or switch to Sprycel? Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 2/4/2008 12:53:28 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Dear Jeanie, FISH from the blood is seen most of the time to have lower values than FISH from the marrow. There are studies on that. Marrow FISH is more reliable than peripheral blood FISH. My husband has 4 vials of blood taken for quantitative PCR. The more the volume of the blood, the greater is the accuracy of the PCR experiment as then less chance of false negatives due to RNA degradation. Hoping for good results for you, Jeanie.
