Thanks for the reply. Still waiting on scheduling for my Bone Marrow Biopsy. In the meantime, doctor has asked for updated CBC, CMP and PTT. All seem to be normal and platelet count was down to 440. Do you think he will still go ahead with BMB? Looking back on blood work from the last ten years my platelets have hovered between 430 and 580. Other than that, no symptoms. I am 66 and only with my latest physical did doctor suggest seeing a hematologist/oncologist. He went right to biopsy. A
pparently I also test negative for all mutations.
Also, my platelet count appears to respond to Mediterranean diet. Low when I stick to it, higher when I don't.
Has anyone else found this or am I grasping at straws???

Back to your initial question. I would ask the doctor why he or she wants the BMB. It is your right to be informed and not to just blindly do as told.
