bonnieshaffer,

Did you have a bone marrow biopsy? I had mine 100-day one last Thursday. I expect it to be in another week. As for more tests, I would think they may be doing them for clarity. Doing more is not necessarily bad, but it depends on if you have your diagnosis yet? Mine at 100 days is seeing my donors' cells and how my body has adapted. I had A+, my donor has 0+.
Let us know.

Yes I had a Bone Marrow Biopsy (my third) on July 10th, just as I was heading out of town for vacation. I have MDS/MPN overlap with Ringed Sideroblasts and ET. I was diagnosed at the end of 2020.

My Doctor was concerned about my Hemoglobin dropping to 8.5 from its normal 10 so insisted I get the Biopsy ASAP.

So more than two weeks later I've heard nothing. I made some calls and got someone to call Pathology at the hospital to find out when the tests would be ready. He said it would be several more weeks.

I just wonder why no one let me know the waiting period would be much longer. Usually I get blood tests every 2 to 3 weeks as my cancer seems to be progressing.

Since the rushed BMB it has been radio silence from my Dr. who I really really like.

I just wonder if Dr.s have any idea how hard waiting is. I'm getting past it and am not going to worry about it anymore. It's just frustrating.
