| Re: bone marrow biopsy
ohdeb,
I realize your post is more than a year old. I'm surprised that no one has responded to you. I had a hysterectomy a year ago next month. When pre-surgical testing was done, they found that I had elevated blood platelets. A hematologist/oncologist was called in. He has been monitoring my platelets since then. Last winter I had to have a root canal done, so I attributed the elevated platelets to this problem. Got that cleared up and the crown put on that tooth, and I thought my problems would be over. Not so, unfortunately, as then my sinuses were acting up and thought this could be the problem. For almost a year now my platelets have been elevated. My hematologist/oncologist has been suggesting a bone marrow test for about 4 months now, but I was dreading the bone marrow test so much. And I was so convinced that my problem was something simple. Reading your posting has made me feel better about having a bone marrow test. I have just about convinced myself that I should have one ASAP! Thanks! sapphire12112
