I am posting today and yesterday because yesterday was just a waiting game. This morning, Dr. Bufalino explained that Lanie’s results were inconclusive. Because Lanie has blast cells in her peripheral blood already, the doctor has a concern they may […]
Lanie had another bone marrow biopsy done this morning. Dr. Bufalino said preliminary results will be in tomorrow, but the full results probably won’t be in until Wednesday. That’s what they said last time, but they didn’t come in until […]
