Just back from DH's bone marrow test!

[Boots]

And it will be two more weeks before we know anything! This waiting for two weeks and two weeks and two weeks again is getting so old!!! They took the marrow from the base of this spine and he said it hurt like the dickens! They are doing about two dozen different tests on it. One of them is for a very rare form of leukemia. The hematologist/oncologist said he doesn't think it is this but they are doing all tests to rule out everything. I will tell you though this waiting around is beginning to do a mental number on us all! I know what it is doing to me so I can imagine what it is doing to him. Hopefully though we can go to Biltmore House during the later part of the week, if DH feels like it. Just want to get out and do something. Please keep on keeping him in your prayers. Like I said once before, "Love you guys!" and bunches of hugs to all my DIS family! Boots/Ellen

Ellen,
I'm still praying! I would imagine that the test would "hurt like the dickens!"

I know what you mean about waiting and waiting and waiting for the test results to come back. I am very hopeful that it will be good news.

My aunt's husband's results haven't come back yet, either.

I'm keeping your DH in my prayers Boots. I can only imagine how stressful waiting is. Hopefully they will find out what's going on soon and your DH will be on his way to a quick and speedy recovery. {{{{Hugs}}}}

(((HUGS))) to both you and your husband. Although I can say I know the wait it taxing on your emotions words can't take away your feeling of helplessness. I'll keep you both in my prayers and hope that the two weeks goes by faster that it usually does

I do believe the worrying part is worst than the knowing part. I hope all is well with Mr. Boots. {{hugs}} Please keep us updated.

I hope y'all enjoy your time at the Biltmore house. I've never been there, but it looks beautiful in the pics I've seen.
