Sounds like a positive move despite the tests being a pain. I hope they can find out what's going on with you! Keep us updated!

Good luck on the test!

I can only agree with this and the others. I don't know how much your hematologist told you about the bone marrow test, but it is one that allows the diagnostician (whichever doctor reads the test results) to see red and white blood cells at all stages of development. It is a more precise test for determining the cause of anaemia, for example. Or how well your bone marrow is recovering from the abuses of treatment. It is painful, unfortunately, so our thoughts are with you! :eek:
