Thank You

Just a quick note to share that my Bone Marrow biopsy done by Dr. Ansari came back benign, which you can imagine was a great relief. However it does not explain what is going on with my blood.

Thoughts and Thanks

I am a new patient of Dr. Ansari. He is seeing me as a Hematologist. I have so much going on in my body. I was diagnosed with TOTAL BODY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE 11 years ago. No specific diagnosis.
