Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well.

I'm going to make a Very Long story short.

On Tues. I'm having 2 biopsies on my thyroid.

Then, toward the end of June, I'm having a bone marrow biopsy to check for leukemia or lymphoma. I'm terrified, to say the least.

Please send good thoughts my way. I can use everything and and everybody reading this post. Thanks and love

Lynda

      hi Reggie! I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I remember your name.

      however, I certainly appreciate your kind words!

      what is it that you have? I'm completely unfamiliar with it.

      are you doing o.k.?

      please keep in touch and take care of yourself.

    I have a very rare form of Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma, 4-5 per million a year are diagnosed in the USA. It's indolent, slow moving, & there are many good treatments & many in research. I was diagnosed through a bone marrow biopsy, after my PCP questioned my extremely low hemoglobin & other #'s were off in some other labs, during a routine physical. The PMR was diagnosed approx. 5-yrs. later. Best to you, keep us all up on what is going on for you. Reggie A.

      oh God!....now I'm REALLY freaked out! I too had some weird results from a "routine" blood test. I was sent to have more intense blood work, and now I have to have a bone marrow biopsy! I'M TERRIFIED!

      please send good thoughts.

      Reggie....I don't want to bug you, but when were you diagnosed with the lymphoma?

      Did the biopsy hurt? I feel so. "lame" asking you, but I'm terrified!

      please try to get back to me when it's convenient.

      thanks Lynda
