Ouch that hurt like HELL!!

I was in the hospital again last week and while I was there I had a another bone marrow biopsy. For those of you that aren't sure what that entails it is a vey large metal ice pick looking thing that they shove into my butt to withdrawal blood from my bone. Hence, the title that HURT LIKE HELL!! The needle that was used wasn't long enough so the Dr. had to really dig in there and yes I did quite a bit of hollering and crying. I got a call this week with the results from that peocedure and I am now looking at 1% of the bad stuff in my bone marrow. I am unsure where we started at the beginning but the Dr.'s were very happy that we were at 1%. I am responding very well to the chemo treatments but I still have to go through the next 5 months worth of treatments.
