Bone marrow biopsy

 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.

  1. I'm a living proof that you can be cured from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Lymphomas are blood cancers" in the lymph nodes. They develop more frequently in older adults and in compromised individuals. After years of living with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I was cured naturally with the use of Dr Gomez Sims RSO Cannabis Oil, 3 drops on the tongue daily for a period of 3 weeks, I was recovering. In 2019 I begin seeing Dr Gomez Sims, who specializes in internal and pulmonary medicine at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069028159755
    It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis. Seek options. Find out about what’s out there that could help. WhatsApp +17278553511 Email: drsimagomez@protonmail.com
