I don't have it, my dad does. It went to sleep for a few months but it's back. He's continuing to break bones at an alarming rate and ease. But the doctor isn't concerned. Without violating my dad's privacy i'm curious at what point the doctor does become concerned and what to expect in later stages of this disease.

Quite frankly, Kris, the doctor should be concerned now! If I were you, I’d really urge dad to consider having a 2nd opinion and a larger teaching/research hospital like Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, John Hopkins, or any of the larger university facilities across the US.
From my understanding PCL is quite rare and he’ll have a deeper bench of specialists who may have more information and treatment options for him!
If interested, here’s a link to Mayo Clinic to initiate a request for appointment. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Your dad needs a hematologist oncologist that has experience with this form of leukemia. Was he offered any type of treatment? Has he had a bone marrow biopsy?
