I have never heard in all of my research that " RAEB 2 was low risk".

"Regardless, it is strongly recommended to send a peripheral blood sample to the BCCA for JAK2 analysis."

**** I was told his JAK2 was negative, but now, after typing this out, I have just realized that there is no way they tested him for JAK2, because he never had a "repeat Bone Marrow Biopsy".

The testing for JAK2 would be taken from the peripheral blood test and not necessarily a BMB.

I remain somewhat confused by this situation and what the tests and diagnosis have revealed.
