Hi Mr. Carroll,

I can see that you are very concerned about your wife. I would love to help you with this, but I need more information if that is possible.

What does her skin disorder look like? Is it blistery, does it itch? Does it cover her entire body?

Mr. Carroll,

It is difficult for me to know for sure exactly what the physician's diagnosis was based on the little information "grandular", however would you remember is it was granular lymphocytosis? Does that sound familiar? I would be happy to provide you with more information on this skin disorder if this is indeed what your doctor had diagnosed.

Mr.Carroll,

The only information that I can find is on granular lymphocytosis leukemia. It is highly technical and difficult for the lay person to understand.

I would like to do further research on it for you. Did the doctor mention anything about leukemia being part of her diagnosis?

I'll have to continue my research on this tomorrow if you don't mind. I would like to find information on it that is understandable and complete.

He did not mention lukemia. Perhaps the condition is granulari something rather than granular lymmphocytosis. James Carroll
