What a difference between a bone biopsy and a lung biopsy.

I wrote how my bone marrow biopsy went. I was very scared Monday and almost canceled the appointment and I was already there. My lung biopsy went very well. I was out before they ever put in the numbing medicine in. I kept waking up because when the had me in the machine they kept hitting my arm...lol The doctor asked me if I had my results on my bone biopsy yet and I told him no. Then he said we would have to set up treatment plans but I had no idea. I guess I will find out on the 22nd. I am finally at peace and don't really care so much what the results are at this time. I want to thank everyone for their support and kind word. It really does make a difference when you are going through all of this. Did you know a bone marrow biopsy cost almost 17,000.00. lol I couldn't believe that. I wonder what the lung biopsy is going to cost. I paid 30.00 for the lung biopsy unless they come back with a higher bill. The bone marrow cost us 148.00 I couldn't imagine not having insurance. I want to thank you all again and have a great day...Danna

I pray your biopsy come back good. I'm glad you're keeping your spirits high and I pray God will give you strength as you go through this journey. God bless you.

Thank you Ruthie

I always appreciate the prayers. On Feb 22 I will find out what all the results are. I feel if I haven't heard anything yet it must be good. The only thing is the doctor who did my lung biopsy mentioned if I had heard the results on my bone biopsy and I told him no. He did say that I would have to do one treatment plan at a time. I didn't question him but it could be why I haven't heard anything yet. I am keeping my spirits up working on my family tree. That keeps me going. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers...Danna

I will Jo, I am not doing well this morning, I woke at 2am and have been coughing and wheezing so bad. It actually wears me out. I may have to call my doctor this morning for her advice. I just am hoping I didn't get a lung infection. I will keep in touch. GBU Jo....Danna
