Just had bone marrow biopsy

Had it, knocked me out with fentanyl, felt nothing, no pain 4 hours in. They sent me link so I could look at all my tests, etc. Didn't work. Go figure. I want to see what it says(they said 5 days) or wait exactly 2 weeks to see doctor. Feel fine so will spend the day jumping through hoops trying to get logged in to portal so I can maybe find something out before 2 weeks. Has anyone looked at results of biopsy BEFORE going to doctor?? Is it understandable?

No. Never been offered the option. And not entirely sure I would understand the minutiae of detail if I did! It’s a bit double edged I find having access to highly technical information and then not necessarily being able to make an effective interpretation. Two weeks for a return visit seems quite speedy. Wishing you well.

TBH, I wish I didn’t have access before going to my follow up appt. As soon as I saw words I didn’t recognize, I started googling...and none of it was good. I got myself all worked up for what appears to be nothing.
