Biopsy Day

Not one, but two of them!
First was the CAT Scan biopsy.  They used the CAT scan for guidance to get the biopsy of the lymph node.
This is to confirm if he has developed another cancer or if it's myeloma related.  Dr. J was most comforting to Tony during the procedure. He shared with us that often, when these things grow fast, they respond quickly to chemo. I was not allowed inside.  They gave him a local for numbing and proceeded.  Minimal pain.
The second one was more difficult,  Bone marrow biopsy.  To rule out leukemia.  He's been on bone strengthening medication so to collect the bone marrow and bone sample was a bit more difficult.  Dr. C did this on the back part of the hip bone.  For this I was in the room and believe you me, Tony was very brave during this procedure.  It was more painful.
All done by around 11am.
So now we wait for a follow up appt on Wednesday or Thursday for the results.  It's going to be a long few days........This part I think is worse, for me at least.
Tony continues to have shortness of breath when walking.  His legs are week from being in hospital for 4 days.
Oh, the Friday's blood work went well and they released him.  We were home after 5pm.
Had dinner with the boys and some company.
A restless night......
Next blog will be Wednesday or Thursday.
Thank you to family and friends for all your support!
