Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hi MJ, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable relying on a PCR as the sole diagnostic tool. PCR's are notorious for their inaccuracies and have given plenty of people questionable results. To me, nothing beats a BMB/BMA and although I did go longer than I should have in the past, I will never go more than 12 months between biopsies again. That's my two cents, Tracey > Hi: > > I've been having regular PCRS. However, I haven't had a bmb/bma in > over a year. The last time I had one at MDACC, I hemorrhaged for four > days.
