      <title>Should I get my bone marrow tested?</title>
      <description>My doctor has advised that I need to get my bone marrow tested, but I&amp;#39;m really scared to do it.&amp;nbsp; Those of you that have had leukemia, do these symptoms sound like something to worry about?&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;ve had fever from 100-102.5 consistently for over a month, severe headaches, and ibuprofen does not help.&amp;nbsp; I feel weak/tired and getting weaker.&amp;nbsp; My&amp;nbsp;WBC is 3.1 and the differential is SEGS 12%, BANDS 13%, LYMPH 46%, MONOS 13%, EOS 1% and BASOS 0%.&amp;nbsp; ABS SEG is 0.4 K/cumm.&amp;nbsp; Also my reactive lymph was high (0.5 K/cumm), not sure what that means.I&amp;#39;ve been tested for everything else under the sun, does this sound like anyone&amp;#39;s experience?Thanks in advance!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>

      <description>I just read your message. My name is Kizzy and I have been in remission for over 5 years with AML.&amp;nbsp; I had a bone marrow transplant and things was going well for me until I got my blood checked yesterday.&amp;nbsp; My WBC is down so bad and I am scared that I may be relapsing. My doctor told me yesterday that I will need to get a bone marrow bio next week. Have you or any one you know suffered from this before?&amp;nbsp; Have you been to the doctor yet to see what your problem may be?</description>
