I have understandable anxiety along with pain. The pain seems to be ok at the moment. My sister does needs a biopsy like mine on her stomach. She didn't sound all that concerned though so hopefully the doctor reassured her the baby would be fine. I have my one week post phelbotomy blood test tommorow morning and I think it will be ok. I havent been feeling lightheaded or short of breath or headachy the way I do when the level is high. At this moment I actually feel pretty ok.
