Take good care and kick gluteus maximus,

Mike,
I don't claim to understand it fully and I have read it numerous times. What I did get from it was monosomy 7 is not a good thing to have going into a stem cell transplant. I have an appointment on Dec 1 to talk to my doc about a stem cell transplant. I want to ask him how much additional risk the monosomy 7 includes as well as additional risk from the ASXL1 mutation.

Good Luck to Mitzi!!!
