gardening junkie- I bet they have for sure. For me, the instruments to get both samples look ancient. It is the skill of the PA i think that made mine less painful. Lidocane 1%. Your CLL is story is what many wish for. God's grace.
I hope it lays dormant for a long, long time.

I fully believe it is the skill and attention of the one doing the test. I had mine 60 years ago with only the local used at the time (they mentioned red soap). Of course I did not know in advance what was going to happen so apprehension did not play a role. Maybe they took more care since mine was done in a children's hospital. That was long before the assembly line approach to BMB. If I ever need a second one, I will make sure whoever does it meets the standard set 60 years ago.
