Good morning to you as well. Thank you for responding. The results of my Bone Marrow Test were not completely satisfying. It did rule out Bone Cancer, Acute Leukemia, Non-Hodgkin Leukemia/Lymphoma and metastatic Carcinoma or Plasma cell Neoplasm. However, after telling me what it was not, it left me with so many unanswered questions. B-12 deficiency and Folate ruled out Megaloblastic Anemia. I had been having abnormal blood results for a while now. For instance my nRbc's, Immature Grans, Absolute Grans, have been high or low. So my Oncologist wanted to rule out cancer I previously had breast Cancer about 12 years ago and there were multiple family members that have had different types of cancer that have since passed away. I am in pretty good health. Based on the Lab Doctors findings and comments there is a possibility of one of several Autoimmune Diseases. So, I asked my Oncologist about doing further test and because there was no Bone Cancer, he said i would have to get another Doctor to run those tests. So, at this point I am looking around and trying to find another type of expert doctor to help me figure this out. Because the results also said that I have Double Positive T-Cells that can be seen in aging, but also Autoimmune, infection and chronic inflammatory conditions, and neoplastic processes. I also had a Breast MRI in February that found lump or knot, that is Fatty Necrotizing Tissue. So I am wondering if my body is trying to fight that and if that may be what my T-Cells are trying to do. Also Capsular Contraction was noted on the Breast MRI. I know this is a lot of information, forgive me. It is just nice to be able to discuss these issues with someone.

Never hesitate to ‘spill all’ here in the forum. That’s what we’re here for so there’s no need for an apology! Many of us have had an illness we’ve had to manage on our own. I went through that with my acute myeloid leukemia and bone marrow transplant. My doctors and teams were amazing but unless you walk the walk, it’s really difficult to really know what it feels like to be on the ‘illness’ side of health.

I’m happy for you that there’s no blood cancer. Finding an autoimmune disease can be a challenge. The chronic inflammatory conditions can mess with the immune system and can cause symptoms too. The Capsular Contraction noted on the MRI is also a side effect of chronic inflammation. Did your oncologist point you in any direction for care? Is your oncologist also a hematologist?
Have you seen a rheumatologist?
