Re: BMB - New Doctor

[Guest guest]

Congrats Zavie on your new Doc

I must admit that my new Doc Doctor Couban

does a great BMB as well and with being on the trial

drug I have to have BMB's every two months so I am

glad all these hematologiest are not like the old ones

My frist BMB was not a pleasant experience but they

seem to get better over the years. Guess it may be

new freezing or something but I no longer mind BMB's

just the thought gives me the willies not the actual

BMB

Hope your as happy with the new doc as you were with

the old...
