@cfranz I understand your concern. It’s a decision I made with my hem/onc doc based on data that is largely rooted in Mayo’s risk stratification analysis.
I am prone to embrace a conservative approach for as long as it’s reasonable given my blood analysis and in the absence of bone lesions and other symptoms of more advanced disease.
If that changes I will get a biopsy.
We are all different.
