Question. Should I have it done?
During a physical, my dr found that my spleen was enlarged. In order to figure out why, the doctor has done blood tests, ultrasound, Ct scan, and more bloodwork. Everything has come back with good results. The doctor says that if the spleen is enlarged there must be a reason. That reason could be cancer, Hodgson's Disease, etc. Or it could be as simple as I was born that way. Well, a bone marrow biopsy is going to suck and there are risks involved, although rare. I don't want to do it but, if it is necessary, I will. Any doctors out there with advise or a second opinion??? Wouldn't cancer show up in my bloodwork? I'm confused. Help someone!
