Would 4 diff. blood draws, over the course of the 5 weeks prior to my bone marrow biopsy, alter the biopsy results? or at least when it comes to cellularity? (thrombocytosis/mild hypercell/benig lymph aggregate) jak2 neg polycythemia, no 2nd found?

The amount of blood drawn for tests would not affect the results of bone marrow and certainly not the genetic test results.
