I wanted to add because of my genetic mutation and the findings from the bone marrow biopsy, I have been on blood number watch for 6 months. Knowing what they found leads to leukemia. I was on the low to med in my possible road to develop leukemia.
But, I have Brca2/ Her2+ from my breast cancer and a 2nd mutation. Do I want to roll the dice in the hopes leukemia does not hit my door? No. I went on the bone marrow list"Be a Match" and a perfect match was found by December. I have a transplant April 9th.
Thankfully most bone marrow biopsies will reveal less than what mine did. I was a platelet donor for 25 years. In the low 300's most of those years. Now it was last sitting at 98 and dropping ever few weeks. My white cells at 280 or so. Dropping too.
That is what lead me to hematology and finding my TP53 was off.
