2nd opinion for MDS diagnosis - 2nd sample
Is a second opinion on an MDS diagnosis required? And should it be based on a seperately drawn bown marrow biopsy (BMB). After 3 months of searching for a solution, a BMB (Bone Marrow Biopsy) finally revealed MDS RAEB 2.
The issue is whether a second sample is required? We received a second opinion on the results obtained from the BMB. The haematologist said the sample was good. And there was no need for a second sample to be drawn.
All blood results subsequently have been consistent with an MDS diagnosis.
Much obliged and apologies for the numerous posts of (innane) questions.
