Appointment With New Oncologist

[Guest guest]

Hi: Most of you do not know what a worrier I am,but I got to the doctors

office, and the nurse came out to talk to me. She said Dr. Dasani is so anxious

to meet you, and was glad you had appointment today. He looked over all my

blood work, and this was my first visit with him. My PCR was still the same

0.000, and I was told I was PCRU. I see a kidney doctor also, and all my numbers

are normal.

WBC 4.0, and my usual Low RBC etc. I have not had to have a BMB all these years

since I achieved a Cytogenetic Remission.

He told me when I am due for my next PCR, he wants to do a BMB instead

along with a FISH. He said CML CELLS can hide in the marrow.

If I had a mutation of some type, I thought it would show in my counts etc. He

got me all upset that he was looking for something after giving me good news.

I guess I need Trey or Zavie on this one. Way back in some posts, I did

see someone mentioned that a periodic BMB should be done no matter what your

status is. I was told to do a regular blood work in 3 months, and then the BMB

in July before my appointment.

Anyone, who can put my mind at ease would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
