Thanks for your insights, they have already been very helpful.

As to my white cell counts I am told that, while low, they are not critical. My last CBC had WBC (count?) at 3 and the absolute Neutrophils at 0.9.

I was called today by the Dr's office and told that I will get a platelet infusion tomorrow before the BMB. Thought being that the procedure might induce some bleeding that could require them. Not sure what to expect at the infusion but it sounds like a good thought.

And most blessedly I do have a good team of family and friends. My very supportive wife will accompany me tomorrow and the rest of the family is eager to help. It would be difficult indeed to face something like this alone.

All the best.

George
