If blood tests come back clear of Leukemia can you still be diagnosed from a bone marrow biopsy?

Thank you

It would be unusual but possible, Jim. I suppose there could be other things that could cause you to have low white blood cells and the leukemia would just make your blood tests look normal.

I have been watching too many episodes of "House" Laughing.
