ratio.
My doctor called me and said"I'm not sure if you have seen your lab results but you have a large jump in you light chains. It went from 3 to 15 so we need to do a Bone Biopsy right away to see what's going on. I don't want you worry, I know its hard but leave the worrying to me. My office will call you to schedule to BMB later"
So, now I'm feeling terrified and I'm totally preparing for the reality of cancer and death.
10 min later a receptionist calls me to schedule an appointment to go over the BMB results when they come in. It takes a few weeks once I have the biopsy to get the results. So I made my appointment for the 3rd week in September.
Later.....about 5 min to be exact, a nurse calls me to advise they cannot schedule the BMB until
I have another CBC ....this time with a hemoglobin component that the doctor did not order on my original blood-work
So now I've waited 5 says for Quest Diagnostics to send my results. Hopefully, next week my doctors will contact me to schedule to BMB.
Speaking of the BMB, after speaking with several people and watching a few youtube videos, I seriously want to be sedated.
However, I have little hope that they will allow it.
