Any swollen lymph nodes?  Have you had a biopsy of a swollen node?  I've never heard of a diagnosis being made by a bone marrow biopsy alone.  Usually, a bone marrow biopsy is done after a diagnosis has already been made and they are checking to see if it's spread to the bone marrow.  

What kind of "pre cancer" do you have?  Do they think it will evolve and treatment will eventually be needed?  I'm just guessing, but it sounds like a possible indolent, slow growing cancer.  It might be a good idea to get a second opinion from a cancer specialist from one of the bigger research hospitals.
