Bruce,
I'm glad you've told us about your situation, and I hope it won't take much longer for you to get a clear diagnosis.
What are your blood counts like? Just how low? Being tired, bleeding easily, and bruising are the classic symptoms of pancytopenia, which could be from a bone marrow problem. But anemia and easy bleeding are also known side effects of splenomegaly.
"What is causing what?" seems like the medical question that I'd be hoping to have answered. If you have to have another bone marrow biopsy to find out, I don't envy you but I hope it provides the answers, and just as importantly an idea of what treatment is appropriate.
By the way, the "not secure" message you probably see in your web browser is because Marrowforums uses http instead of https. Our hosting service doesn't provide a simple method to make the switch, and that's delayed the change. Since we're a discussion site that's publicly viewable, not a site that stores private personal or financial information, it hasn't been a practical problem. And we keep a close watch on access to the site in any case.
