Bone marrow biopsy

Just got back from the Hematologist; had my bone marrow biopsy done, and boy did it hurt. He had a hard time getting biopsy and had to jiggle it around. Thank GOD its over :) My blood platelets are down more so the prednisone not working. He has me set up tomorrow for a 4 hr vein infusion of Gamma Globulin.

Hey Paul,
You did it! Now you have to be patient to get results. They are still going to do the PM? How are you feeling other than sore? Keep me posted.

It is so good the doctors are finding all these medical complications now and can get you all taken care of ~ then get your PM, which will make you feel great ~ Just sorry a person has to endure any pain with tests.

I know the PM members are all thinking/praying for you as I have seen over the last couple of weeks how they respond to your "Posts". You have great friends in the PM Club.

Take care and keep us posted on your everyday findings/solutions from the doctors.

Hang in there AND Take care ~

Thank you and everyone so much. I am getting my PM wednesday and they are giving me a bood transfusion right before to get my platelets up. The dr said I will not get my biopsy results for 1-2 weeks. Some of the results will be back in 24-48 hrs.

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.
