My six month BMB results were just posted by the hospital and I just had a question if the high % of bands was normal with CML or if it had any significance. Otherwise, things are moving along in the right direction. FISH = 3% (down from 92.5% @ dx); PCR 5.7% (23% @ dx).
I can provide more results if needed. Thanks so much!! J

The marrow is normocellular (approximately 40% cellular). The
myeloid:erythroid ratio is unremarkable. Erythroid maturation is complete.
Myeloid maturation is complete. Megakaryocytes are present and show an
increased number of hypolobate small megakaryocytes. Stainable iron is not
assessed. Focal lesions are not identified. The bony trabeculae are
unremarkable.
