I have had a third bone marrow biopsy and this biopsy showed no evidence of MDS but the doctor said I had aplastic anemia and has been treating me for that. My blood counts are pretty good now and he has been lowering the dose of cyclosporine. What I don’t understand is how can my first biopsy show Monosomy 7 and my next two biopsies show normal. I had asked my hematologist if that meant I don’t have MDS and he said he can’t totally rule it out. He can’t say 100 percent whether I do or don’t He said he has been treating me for aplastic anemia and I have responded which is good. It just makes me wonder why a biopsy isn’t an absolute. Does anyone have any thoughts? It just kind of drives me nuts thinking about it.
