Can they do a simple test for leukemia? We went to the rheumatologist and he wanted to know if they had ruled out cancer. They never mentioned it to us but once and all they did was say they didnt think he had it. Would he be sick all the time? What should I look for? He tested positive for some of thr rheumatoid antibodys but he also has immune defficiancys.
