Hi David

I've been relatively stable for the five years since my last BMB and my current haematologist sees no need for further BMBs unless there is a significant change.

It took me a while to accept that as there's a certain amount of "security" in being able to view detailed BMB results. However apparently if you are having regular blood tests (as I am) any significant deterioration in marrow function should become evident in these results. I find it helpful to monitor my own results by spreadsheeting and charting the most relevant ones.
