In my first bmb in 2019 in AZ just had local, felt pressure, doc stopped and said “this is like going through rock”… when back in Nebraska in summer of 2021 went back to my doc who dx my CLL in 2013. I sent records that didn’t arrive, he said he wished he had my bmb results. I said you wanna do one, he said you want me to do one and I said sure, so he did with just local, easy peasy, Result was “no lypmhoma” (been told several times that luekima is really a lymphoma) had chemo for 6 cycles starting Dec 2019 when platelets nosedived. Been in remission since April of 2020—feel good but for some weakness, which I attribute to combination of chemo and COVID that I had in January 2022. Feeling grateful at age 75.
