thanks for feedback

Susan, that's probably because I don't have a diagnosis yet! I have autoimmune problems and since my blood cells tanked when I reduced my steroids, I think this is a likely cause. But I can't go on a med for autoimmune problems until I rule out bone marrow problems.....but the bone marrow biopsy was a bust.

Greg, thank you for the ideas of what to look for in the report. I also thought that they were supposed to look at the sample *right there in the room* with a microscope to make sure that they'd obtained a good sample before wrapping me up. I wish they'd done that and realized they'd wiffed. I do NOT want to do it again!

Liz and Curly, this was a doc (but a young newbie, I think) at a cancer center, but I will soon be working in the center of the main hospital campus. I bet there's better, more experienced docs there. It will just take time before I have flexibility at work to take off for more doc appts. On the upside, I'll be able to walk to them!
