Hi Gale I certainly hope that is the case. We are just awaiting Richard's bmb results and definitely don't want to hear those words!!! Rich had a wbc of 450,000 at diagnosis in May 2003.Never went to the doctor hardly at all, so hadn't had a blood test in years. Also a P loop mutation detected a year later. Hence the need for BMS. Praying that will be his saviour. Best wishes to you Annette ____________________________________________________________________
