Thank you Lori, Have had the bursitis pain for a while and my PCP did an MRI which confirmed it . My husband wanted me to go to his pain doctor and while reviewing it with my history, asked me what my count was. I showed him my latest blood work from September and it dropped to 62K. He said his concern was the possibility of bleeding and wanted me to consult my oncologist/hematologist if there was a way to increase my platelets. He contacted me and said yes an infusion, which I knew that, however I am on a wait and watch regiment. He said, at that September visit, when I hit 55K again he would do another bone marrow biopsy. My question is, the oncologist said the pain management doctor could do the infusion. I said you don't do it? and he repeated the pain management doctor can. That answer surprised me. Is that possible. I return the 11th not for the shot but review of the MRI he sent me for my back which also showed on the first MRI issues. Sorry I know this is rambling. I did learn one thing, and did not know this, the MRI showed and commented on the MDS. Hope this is a tad clearer.
