I had a bone marrow done over 2 weeks ago, but only an aspiration. Last week, the haematologist rang me to say that the aspiration wasn’t good enough and I need another bone marrow. I asked him if it would be an aspiration again and he promised me it would be. Yesterday, I went for the bone marrow and at the end they showed me the samples and they had done aspiration and biopsy. I was furious, but nothing I could do about it. By the Haematologist lying to me, thinks they are hiding something from me, thinking the worst.
I’ve had the bone marrow, because I was in hospital for several weeks with CVST and brain bleed. It turns out, without telling me, that a genetic test was done when I went in hospital. It was done because only my RBC was very slightly raised. All my blood tests have been normal since.
The genetic test showed a JAK2 mutation and possible underlying MPN, hence the reason I was referred to haematologist.
I’m now panicking and thinking I’ve got cancer, but having normal blood tests makes me wonder what is going on.
I feel that the haematologist has lied to me and prefer honesty, not concealing the truth from me.
What should I think of this and should I be worried, well I am constantly thinking the worst. Thanks if you could give your view. Thanks.
