To keep your options open as you sort through this, I think the thing I would do is first contact the lab to make sure that they preserve what is left of your aspirate. That way, you can have the option of running it through another lab.
I was really surprised to find that the lab where I had my very first BMB done automatically did this for a number of weeks. When I got a second opinion a couple of weeks after my initial diagnosis, that second doc wanted his "people" to also examine the aspirate. Amazingly, it turned out to be a piece of cake to do this and I didn't have to go through a second BMB.
