I saw Professor Marsh on Wednesday and she asked lots of questions and did a very thorough head to toe examination of me. After that they took 20 tubes of blood for testing and for research purposes, and then I finally had the biopsy. It was excruciating pain this time, much worse than the first one for some reason. I don't know what was different but by the time they did it I was absolutely exhausted so maybe that didn't help.
I got on a coach at 6am to travel for about 4 hours and there was a long wait at the hospital, so I had been awake for 9 hours by the time it happened and I was running on little sleep. My mom said I should be sedated for the next one, if there is one, as she thought it was too unpleasant to go through awake. But I'm just glad it's all done now and I feel like I'm in safe hands with Professor Marsh. I've got a follow up appointment in April to discuss the results and hopefully they will have a diagnosis for me.
