What is the best response to achieve? I believe he wants to do a bone marrow biopsy in 6 months.

Got my results back from Dr. Cortes and my Molecular test came back NEGATIVE! NO bcr/alb transcript was detected!

I believe that's it; congratulations! I wonder why he wants to do a BMB? (Far be it from me to question Dr. Cortes 
)

Sorry for being practical, but the interest in doing another BMB makes me wonder. I just like to make sure the data is properly transmitted. In June your FISH was still 4% and PCR .64% so a drop to PCR undetectable would be a large one in about 60 days, although certainly possible. I would just double check that this is a PCR which is undetectable instead of FISH. Hope it is.

This is what the message said.
Bcr-abl quantitative pcr pb Negative % ((0-0))
REAL TIME BCR INTERP PB
T(9;22); BCR-ABL1 Translocation Assay by Quantitative RT-PCR:
No BCR-ABL1 fusion transcript is detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR
Sorry I am so uneducated about all these terms. Slowly but surely starting to understand everything

That confirms the PCR undetectable, so great news. I just don't like to see people go on an emotional roller coaster because their Onc cannot communicate clearly enough.
Tell Dr Cortes to forget the BMB unless he can provide a very good reason. I doubt there is one.
