Your husband is fortunate to have a wife who is so interested in and concerned about his condition.

You will find a little information on surface markers here:

Surface marker levels can indicate prognosis. CD34 tends to correlate closely with blast levels but not always. You will need a copy of your husband's biopsy results to see what levels he has.

I am interested to know more about surface markers myself and would appreciate knowing where to go to find out.
