The Study Group

My course of treatment has been set.  The computer has randomly selected my name as part of the control group. I will be monitored every month for a year. Twelve more visits to Tufts. I am relieved but not entirely. There will be more bone marrow biopsies!  I have had four and do not look forward to
having any more.  Cheryl, my daughter, was with me during the last one and thought I had seen the needle. I hadn't.  Not knowing that, she was so shocked she spontaneously exclaimed, "That's a wicked, evil-looking needle!"  It is not the needle, no matter how it looks, that is the problem.
