Dear all,

I am considering taking blood tests but I am unsure what do they have to include ( i know the plaquets are important) but what else should we be looking at?
Does anyone know if its possible to get detailed blood tests?
I am asking this because my sister has passed away with Leukemia M3 and the doctors advised family members to track down for each one of us.

Can anyone enlight me on this?
Thanks
