Here’s hoping that today’s bone marrow biopsies are painless and quick for both of you. Be sure and ask lots of questions. Your hematologist/oncologist would be able to give you more definitive information after the results come in from your bone biopsy. Make sure that you get a promise from them that they will call you, or schedule an in office or telemedicine appointment to go over the results of your biopsy. If you didn’t do this while you were there, you can always call and schedule that appointment.
There are many things to consider such as pre-existing conditions, and any symptoms that you may have as well as the results of your bloodwork and biopsy. You will want this to be a conversation with your physician. We are all very different in the way that we present. Speaking only for myself, I rarely look at my chart to get the results of my bloodwork or testing ahead of the discussion with my doctor. It increases my anxiety, and then I start feeling symptomatic when I actually am not. The mind-body connection is the real deal.
Fingers crossed for a good experience for both of you.
