LOL. You fooled me!! I should have looked closer! But I love your photo anyway! ☺️
It is possible for people to have disorders without having any genetic or acquired genetic issues. As I mentioned, some blood conditions can take a lot of sleuthing before coming to a diagnosis. The biopsy may not be definitive but may help rule out certain conditions or point to others. I know it can be really frustrating in the meantime! I had a very aggressive blood cancer and have had 13 biopsies over the course of my treatment. So I can empathize with your anxiety. I think you’ll find it’s not so bad and it’s over quickly.

I was going to ask about your EPO level. But that’s all good as well. Hmm. You’re very young for this, but do you know if you have sleep apnea or not?

Oh thank you so much🙏.
Wow 13 biopsies,What a great fierce fighter you are !❤️
Yeah my doc said to me that aspiration+biopsy can at least confirm or rule out PV,Myeloproiferative or Myelofiorosis disorders.
I heard that Patients with sleep apnea often complain of extreme daytime sleepiness, loud snoring with episodes of choking during sleep, temporary cessation of breathing, and sudden awakening with loud snoring.and for me non of these happen to me.
So the bone marrow test going to hurt right?! ,how it feel like when I get anesthesia or when the doc ins the needle in the bone?

Oh I forgot,the doc also asked for (Reticulin Stain)besides BMA&Biposy
What does it mean?
