I got my bone marrow aspiration & bone biopsy Nov 1st. I just got back the results Nov 23rd. The results came back Negative. So, I still have no diagnosis after two bone marrow biopsies and numerous blood tests.
So far, no markers for cancer and negative for MDS etc.
I have low platelets, low white and red blood cell counts (2.0) and between 7.2 and 8.1 for Hemoglobin.
At 7.2 (Hemoglobin) I had to have a Blood transfusion due to difficulty breathing. I get weekly platelet transfusions.
My Mayo Dr is starting with additional blood tests next week and another Bone marrow biopsy.
Still a mystery to me and the Dr's.
This all started after getting the COVID VACCINE and Booster shot. Coincidence???

Hi @rockitman Well, I guess some good news is that your results are negative for any cancers and MDS but, you certainly remain a mystery man. That’s really frustrating for you and your doctors, and of course, at this point there’s no way to know if the vaccine was involved or not. There are certainly people who have had reactions they feel are correlated with the vaccine but it’s difficult to prove because there are others with similar maladies which developed prior to Covid.
It’s reassuring that your doctor at Mayo continues to delve deeper into finding an answer for you. Keep me posted, ok?
