Hi Chirley,
We all know that we have to control everything but there are no excuses for leaving a needle in a port. Suppose you had been more ill or not really aware of that you shouldn't have a needle in the port. Then you probably should have got a severe infection.
Very positive with your GP

It is true that it is difficult to know anything about your bone marrow without a BMB.
I stopped taking Thalidomide when I started to take Revlimid 5 mg July 2013. Oct 2013 the dose was increased to 10 mg/day and then I responded. I had been taking Zarzio (like Neupogen) once a week since March 2013 but stopped taking that drug in the beginning of March 2014 when my WBC were 5.6.
Kind regards
