Sorry for the crazy post! I type the way my thoughts are...racing...all jumbled lately. She saw the Hem/Onc today for a bone marrow biopsy, had one 3 months ago and there was no chromosome damage at that time, mild disease. They are re-doing the bone marrow biopsy because her counts aren't so great and now her whites are low. He wants to make sure she isn't transforming to something more aggressive (those where his words). He took blood by her finger today and then had to take it by the vein because they didn't like it. So I guess when I say he is diagnosing a transformation by a pin prick in the finger it is because he doesn't have the bone biopsy back yet, just done today. Can they get a suspicion it is transforming just by her blood work?
