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?

Hi! I answered most of your questions in my reply about the reticulin stain, including the anesthetic and the ouch. If you don’t see it, here’s the link. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1022675/
About sleep apnea, you’re right. Most people have all of the symptoms you’re describing. You look too young to be having that issue.
One more thing about the biopsy that I didn’t mention. Some clinics offer a light sedation where you’d be asleep for the 10 or so minutes it takes for the biopsy. Then you wouldn’t feel a thing. You might want to ask if your doctor offers that! It really helps.
