I agree with you! Have a bone marrow biopsy under anesthesia is the only way t to go. ☺️ Are you still having weekly blood tests and infusions?

I was for the past 16 months but after missing one because of a trip to FL my platelets actually improved. Hematologist suggested I come every other week. which is fine with me. Platelets are staying around 120. It took over a year to get them above 40. I was beginning to wonder if the Cancer & Hematology Center saw me as a cash cow. Medicare EOB's showed weekly cost of $47K. Glad I have private insurance which picks up everything Medicare doesn't pay.
