Actually, the process starts with a routine CBC (Complete Blood Count) test, yaar. If the doctor finds abnormal white cell counts, they will ask for a bone marrow biopsy to confirm. It sounds intense, but it is the standard way to get a clear answer.

My cousin went through this, and they first detected abnormalities in his normal blood report during a fever checkup. Then the hematologist did a bone marrow biopsy from his hip bone to know the exact type. Just go to a top cancer institute directly, they do it very professionally.

The waiting period between the initial blood test and the final bone marrow report is emotionally shattering, and I completely feel your fear. It is okay to cry and feel overwhelmed. Just hold onto your family and take it one day at a time, you are not alone in this.
