Lori thank you SO much! It’s great being able to talk to someone. And yes of course I will share my biopsy results with you.
As a nurse I would hopefully be telling a patient basically the same thing my Dr told me yesterday. She kindly reminded me that the biopsy will provide information so I can start feeling better.
I feel pretty awful today unfortunately. Went for a short walk earlier & it about killed me. I hate feeling weak and unable to do things. I am used to working out, walking, being active. Not feeling up to it is also making me depressed! Not sure if I told you (sorry to repeat myself at times) but my hemoglobin is very low. So I know the anemia is making me feel this way.
Anyway, hopefully this, too, shall pass. Hugs back to you!

Ya know, one of the hardest things to do is listen to your body. (Next to asking for help!!). Especially when you’re an energetic, independent used to being super active. That’s why getting to the root of the issue and finding the cause of the anemia is so important.

So, for the time being, give yourself grace to get through this. I know how frustrating, and actually quite frightening, it is when your blood doesn’t have enough oxygen. I had AML and by the time I was properly diagnosed my hgb was 4.7. Talk about dragging my biscuits around. 😅 Well, at that point I was barely ambulatory. But, better living through chemistry and my amazing doctors, I pretty much feel like I’m in my 20s again. So hang in there, listen to your body and also, ask for help when you need it!! 🤗

Good morning, @drawlings0803 I was just going through my notes to check in with you this morning after your biopsy yesterday. The results won’t be available for a week or so but how was your experience with the biopsy?
