Mum is at her biopsy at the PA. They decided on doing the lesion on her spine over her sternum as her spinal lesion is more likely to lead to a good sample to test. It is a CT guided biopsy so apparently very accurate.
The procedure is comparable to her hip bone marrow biopsy which Mum had no problems with so this should be fine. She should be home this afternoon and reasonably mobile tomorrow.
As mentioned before, the results come back Thursday and treatment will be discussed then. Fingers crossed she tests positive to myeloma (a strange thing to wish for really but we do not want a melanoma diagnosis as that will mean 2 types of cancer).
I'll update tonight when Mum is home.
