Troubling Biopsy

Hi -
I just go back some results from my 9 month post transplant BMB. They detected abnormal myeloid blasts in .09% of the WBC - similar to but not identical to those seen in my MDS... I also went from 100% donor to 90% donor. My doctors were encouraging, saying the results are inconclusive and happens sometimes and then goes away... but are checking to see if my donor is available for lymphocytes just in case. They also lowered my tacrolimus a bit. I have another BMB scheduled at the end of July and am hoping everything looks Ok -

My blood counts aren't quite normal but have been holding steady or going up.

When others relapsed how did it first manifest? Anyone else have blips in their BMB's that went away?

Thanks
p
