Question Childhood Bone Marrow failure/MDS

My 9 year old daughter has a low white blood count. 2.2 as of 2 weeks ago. She had a bone marrow biopsy and the pathologist said he is not going to rule out MDS. The hematologist is not treating my daughter for anything...we just get blood work every month. My daughter is so tired she cant go to school.

We have been dealing with this since Feburary last year. She has fevers ranging from 99.1 to 102.3 and doctors where we are are not doing anything. They said they might repeat the bone marrow biopsy in January.

My daughter has a identical twin sister and her twin does not have any of these issues of symptoms and her blood work is fine. I am so confused as to what to do. Our house was tented for termites and that is when all of this started.

Should I be pushing for the doctors to do anything and is there anything I could be doing to bring her WBC up? I just bought a juicer because the doctors dont know what is wrong with my daughter.

Any help or advice would be appreciated! Blessings to you.
