Right now, Neil is having a bone marrow biopsy performed. This is to make sure the cancer cells are not in his bones. His oncologist is confident this test will come back negative because of the blood results from Wednesday. Since the bone marrow is responsible for the production of blood cells, any problems should have already shown up in the bloodwork.
The procedure is supposed to be pretty painful and unfortunately I couldn't take off work today if I want to be with him Monday for the portacath surgery. He should be out soon, but recovery may take a few hours. Looks like lots of movies this weekend!
UPDATE: Just got a call from him at 10. He said it took them three tries to get a good sample and that it really hurt. He will be in recovery until noon but otherwise he's ok.
