Re: t 4:14 as indicator for high risk disease

Dear Multibilly,

I truly appreciate your feedback, I understand you're not a doctor, but your research and in­forma­tion helps with so many questions that have been running through my mind. Never knew that the treatment could alter the translocation gene.

Best,
PJD

To be clear, treatment won't "alter" or "fix" the translocation. But treatment may reduce or wipe out the line of cells that happen to have this translocation.
