What was your experience with bone marrow biopsy?

Glad that you share faith in Jesus Christ.
Two things I observe:
1. It was a nurse, not a radiologist who conducted your procedure.
2. Didn't they scan to see exactly where to draw the sample from?
3. I was told that the bone cannot be numbed, so the numbing is superficial and I had two biopsies at the same time.
Glad that all seemed to have gone well with you. My challenge is Myelofibrosis and very dry bone marrow. Nothing to draw.

I'm not finding where I said it was a radiologist. It was a nurse, and she did a good job. No scan to see exactly where to draw the sample from, the nurse just felt around my upper hip in the back and marked the spot! I don't know if the bone was numbed, that would be kinda weird, but she numbed way down in my body.
How did your biopsies go? Did you feel much after the numbing.

We'll be 100% whole in God's Kingdom. See you there. 🙂
