"Why is he RAEB 1?"
Hi Béné,
Thank-you kindly for responding to my post. To answer your question copied above regarding the classification of RAEB 1 for my husband. On the Bone Marrow Biopsy report of April 2012, it said that the findings were consistent with RAEB 1. I believe that this would be due to the presence of 6% blasts in the bone marrow and that one or more cell types were low and look abnormal in the bone marrow. At the time of this BMB, it was not reported that the peripheral blood contained blasts. No Auer rods seen. Ringed sideroblasts are within normal limits. Hemosiderin stores are increased
His doctor has not suggested a subsequent BMB since this initial BMB in April 2012 at the time of diagnosis.
Thank-you again for your interest,
Ann
