Bone marrow biopsy
Yesterday I got a bone marrow biopsy done Its been 6 years since my last one and I've had a couple before then when I was a teenager. I don't remember it being painful but yesterday seemed like it hurt A lot, and they drew like 20 vials of blood from me.. testing a bunch of stuff and i should know my results in about a week. If everything looks ok, the doctor wants me to try the horse ATG again since that was the only treatment my bone marrow responded but that was back in Aug of 1999, If that doesn't work he was talking about doing a bone marrow transplant...
