Hi Deb,

Not to be a nag, but I would still demand another BMB (with aspirate, flow cytometry, PNH testing and chromosonal analysis) from your doctor. Have a second opinion review the slides.

At the time of diagnosis, I had a spotty marrow with some parts being hyper/normal cellular and some being extremely hypocellular. This can make diagnosis tricky...especially if you have only one sample!

How does your doctor explain your low white blood counts if you have PRCA?

All therapies, including IVIG, have risks.
