Test results are a big deal, especially when they can show definitively whether there is ‘active Leukaemia’ in a person who’s had a Bone Marrow Transplant to get rid of the potentially deadly cells.
The first signs I had something really wrong (following my Breast Cancers), were; bone pain, unexplained bruising and fatigue. Below are some shots of my bruised bod over just the last few days. You can argue the bruising is caused by low platelets, high-dose steroids or Heparin (it’s to thin the blood and reduce the chance of DVT, I’ve been having it injected into my belly since being laid-up with these troublesome hips).
My most recent Bone Marrow Aspirate/Biopsy was performed last week and it’s been a real effort to keep things under control. It’s a pretty standard test, but it does take the lab a while to process the information gained from taking some bone marrow from the top of the hipbone.
A new Dr I hadn’t seen before had the pleasure of delivering some good news last night – telling me casually that it ‘looks okay’.
……….I guess there’s nothing more to say really.
