My platelet levels (200) were fine for the pulmonary biopsy. The biopsy is not too invasive. There was zero pain for me and I was eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (which they made for me) an hour after the biopsy.
The disappointing thing for me is that they had trouble making a biopsy that was telling. It was the CT scan that ultimately decided that the surgery was necessary.
