Bone Marrow Biopsy

May 28 - Day 33

Today I had another bone marrow biopsy. It was done at my hospital bed, and was somewhat less painful then the previous two go-arounds. It was done by DRLC, and apparently more freezing was used so that discomfort was kept to a minimum. A decent biopsy sample was obtained, but the aspirate sample (the fluid around the marrow) was difficult to get as is often the case after chemo. It'll take several days to analyze he results of the biopsy, but this is the last step keeping me in the hospital.
