Well, THAT was no fun! The bone marrow biopsy (of my hip) was painful and then not even successful in getting a solid piece.
The nurse tried twice and then asked me if she could try again or get another nurse to try...or did I want to stop there? Definitely the latter but somehow I felt like I should apologize. They can make do with what they got. They needed a centimeter and each sample was only .4 of a centimeter. Couldn't they add them together and get .8?
I was happy to be able to listen to music by Regina Spektor. That helps a little.
I was happy to follow directions and take a walk. It was only a few blocks but my leg starts hurting after only a block.
Wednesday I am scheduled for an echocardiogram and then I might be able to start the treatment, maybe as soon as Thursday or Friday.
The brief look at my veins by Dr Ujjani today made her think I needed a port. I dread that but supposedly it will make infusions a lot easier for me.
4/9/21: Results showed the same high-grade lymphoma in my bone marrow. It is supposedly good news that there isn't a different kind of cancer in my bone marrow.
