Hi all,

Update about my mom 3rd BMB results. Based on the BM aspiration results, the hema thinks my mom has PRCA now. But we have to wait for the BM Trephine Biopsy results to confirm i guess as this will take another 2 weeks.

Attached pls find my mom latest BMA results. If you have any comments or thoughts on the results, much appreciated if you can share with me so that i can ask the doctor when we meet him again on 8th Jan 2013. Thanks in advance.

I will update the Biopsy results once i have them. Much appreciate if someone can help me to interpret the latest results. Try to understand more whether the present of "Granulopoiesis", "Lymphopoiesis" and others showing that there is improvement on my mom's BM or the other way. It seems to me they found more "things" on my mom's BM this time. Thanks.
