What was your experience with bone marrow biopsy?

I have an appointment in a little over a week. I have already been diagnosed with ET with JAK2 V617F mutation. I am negative for BCR ABL1. My hematologist has started me on Aspirin and wants to start me on Hydroxyurea. I asked to wait to start it for a few weeks until I started the Aspirin as I suffer from GERD already. So this may make things more difficult as I have not been able to tolerate Aspirin in the past.
I am relieved to find this web page as I was feeling very alone in my diagnosis.
