Apr 11: The Big Needle

 aka Bone Marrow Biopsy

This one seemed to be more difficult and have more after-procedure pain. They use the top of the hip bone to collect the bone marrow and a piece of bone. I didn't pass out this time, but I did hear rushing water for a few moments after the second or third attempt to collect a sample. 

Results in 7-10 days. Accuracy down to 1/1M detection. 

Hopefully, all is clear, aka NED (No Detectible Disease) Then it'll be a monthly blood test to keep tabs on things for the next year. 

I am grateful and blessed.

Blessings to you and yours today,

Gary
