Speaking from my own experience, I had 2 biopsies b4 my transplant and 2 after. The 2nd pre-transplant biopsy was to ensure that my disease had not progressed into anything else. I rem that the 2nd post-transplant biopsy was done maybe 18 mos- 2 yrs after bcse they used the smart port for the 1st time after that was placed for ease of GVHD treatments. I also asked my doctor afterwards if I would need any more BMB'S and was told not unless there was some concern in the future. I would guess the need for a biopsy is also dependent on your disease, age, etc.
