Hi I’ve been asked to have blood tests, Intrathecal, bone marrow test and Rituximab on the same day. Is this ok? Thank you.

Hello and thanks for posting
As nurses on here we don't organise tests or recommend treatment as this needs to come from your specialist team who are familiar with all your medical details.
Some doctors arrange a number of tests and investigations on the same day to avoid their patients having to come to the hospital multiple times.
Do speak to your healthcare team if you are worried about this. If you have access to a specialist nurse then perhaps you can talk things through with them.. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.
I hope this is of some use. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards,
Celene
