Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have history of cancer so possibility of metastasis to the bone marrow should be checked. You have viral fever right now so you are given treatment for that. You should go for bone marrow examination. It will clear all doubts and clear the pictures. then you should take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
