I now have a whole new take on my upcoming bone marrow biopsy (1/16). My blood counts have never fully rebounded since chemo and my onc has finally decided to check my bone marrow. He thinks it will be negative and will then refer me to a rheumatologist for suspected auto-immune issues.

I'm the type who refuses to worry, but this sure gives me something to THINK about!

Thanks, Mindy
