Oncrx Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT My initial CBC showed absolutely the presence of numerous blasts. In combination with my blood panel, symptoms and exam, the marrow aspiration was just a formality.I waited way too long. 70% blasts in blood and bone. My marrow draw was "DRY"... if you suspect, get it checked. ALL good Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT blasts would definately be elevated in the blood,  but this would be viewed from a blood smear.
