    Yes there is. There is the basic CBC and then there is what they call the phish I think you spell it that way, This is also a blood test but they go into more testing detail to determine if it is in your bloiod stream. There is also a bone marrow test which tests the blood in your bone marrow for the leukemia to see if it is specific to the marrow or if it has entered the blood stream. I know because I go back next week for all this specific tests.
