Hello all! 

It has been a while since I have been on.  
Went to the Dr today to get the results of a bone marrow biopsy from 9/23. Dr said something abnormal in my marrow showed up, however it is nothing related to the leukemia. I have been in remission for (3 years). I was so shocked and by myself, I did not ask exactly what showed up. He wanted to retest in a couple of weeks. 


I had a relapse scare last year, it was a very low level and my body fought off that level of disease on its own. Had a year worth of neg biopsies (3).  I had AML inv 16, M4, FLT3 positive, CKIT positive. 

I am extremely stressed out at work, could that show up in your bone marrow/stem cells? 

Had anyone ever had something like this happen? If so, what did it end up being? 

Thanks everyone!
