Thank you! Yes, it is probably unimportant and some transient infection I didn't know about caused the low cellularity. I think it's only unsettling because I'm not likely to have a second BMB just to check. The first was just to check for mast cells / mastocytosis because I have symptoms of that. It was negative, thankfully, with the macrocytosis and low cellularity being incidental findings. I had an IgG lambda chain show up on a smear the other day so I probably took this (low cellularity and results I don't understand) more seriously than necessary due to the link to cancer with that IgG lambda thing. I also have a genetic disorder that can have bone complications but I hadn't heard of marrow being part of it, so that's another reason I decided I'd feel you guys out on causes of low cellularity, etc.
Thanks again!
