Tests are progressing
I sailed through the lumbar puncture and bone marrow biopsy today, essentially no pain and really very little discomfort despite being wide awake with local anaesthesia only for both procedures. If all tests are okay, I'm to be admitted on 11/23 for chemo and then get my transplant on either 11/29 or 11/30, depending on when the marrow arrives. I'm also getting my Vidaza treatments this week...busy, busy.
