Hi Chirley,
Too bad that it is so difficult to get a relevant test of your bone marrow. It is unbelievable that the last doctor stabbed you in the abdomen
!
I have had tree BMP with local anesthesia. My bone is very hard too and I have been glad that the doctors have been strong young men that have been able to get a biopsy every time. It doesn´t hurt at all since I have fibrosis and it is impossible to get an aspiration from my bone marrow (it is the aspiration that hurts). My bone marrow had not changed between dx May 2006 and September 2007
.
I think it is common with high bone density when you have MDS.
Kind regards
Birgitta
