The blood test we just got back showed that he was negative for leukemia, yet the vet still seems to think that a marrow test would prove that he has it.

This is where I am leaning towards thinking that he might not have leukemia but that it might be something else that is causing the anemia.

If it something easily fixable, that can improve his quality of life then obviously we will do it, I just don't know if playing ring around the rosy with the diagnostics is the way to go.
