Re: PH Environment
I detest doing research on the computer. I have satellite and it's horribly slow. So I don't know if there is a way to find out if you have a defective p53 gene or not. All I know from my onc is that most, not all, women with a grade 3 tumor have a defective p53 gene. I don't know if I wanted to know this or not. I do know there are a lot of women with grade 3 tumors who don't get a recurrence. What causes some to recur and not others is a question! I don't think this website is posting any updated (if there is any) info about the p53 gene?
