Blast cells

Hi SLB,
You know I have had 5 BMBs since dx 2006 and due to severe fibrosis they have never been able to get an aspirate. They have looked at chromosome aberrations twice though I have hypocellular (few cells) bone marrow.

As DanL wrote "since a bone marrow biopsy is only taking a look at one section of marrow, it is possible to see different results from different biopsies".

As far as I understand you are getting the best possible treatment with Vidaza and SCT since you are very young and probably don't have any other diseases.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
73 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 2006, txs dependent from dx due to severe fibrosis, supportive treatment until 2010 when I started to take Thalidomide + Prednisone with positive results.
