My mom was told yesterday that she may have lymphoma. She is going in for a bone marrow test next week. Recently she was denied a life insurance policy because leukemia was diagnosed in he urine. Is this possible. Her doctor feels she has lymphoma, but her blood results lean towards leukemia. Are they closely related in symptoms?
Any information would be so helpful.
A couple of her numbers:
WBC 12.3
RBC 3.83
neutrophil 16
lymphocytes 80
lymph absolute 9.8
IGM 1916
