    thanks gloria. i did go on to have another bone marrow biopsy. there is still trisomy 8 and my bone marrow is still hypoplastic, but there is no developing leukemia or lymphoma, so that is good. my ANC count dropped to 0.53 last checked in early june. i see the hematologist again august 7 to see where things are on that front. i have good health insurance so nothing to worry about there. and i live in the boston area so i’m not worried about doctors either. it’s all still all playing out. i’m sorry to hear you can’t find a donor, that is stressful. i hope that changes.

    Thanks Sherry. I will email you. I am about to quit my job and do something I love, but now I wonder if I shouldn’t so I can keep my insurance. I hate my job, I’m exhausted, but it is what it is I suppose. Talk about bad timing. Or good timing in some ways I guess. Would suck to be sick and jobless.

    Anyone? Also. Is it possible for that value to return to 0 on its own?
