Thanks for the article pyre,  very interesting, I wish I had the medical understanding to know what to do with it. It still leaves many unanswered questions as to what to do with it, but so good to know the level of research going on and the progress being made in understanding. It also strengthens  my determination to get a diagnosis for my son, the implications of understanding and fine-tuning medications appropriately is so important when you look at findings like this.

It appears that the evidence is still contradictory, and since we can't predict which cancer we might get, how can we know what will help or hinder it?  Such a complicated subject!  And, is there a difference if the mast cells or normal or if they have genetic defects?  Maybe we'll find out someday!
