@mrsruby hi there. I'm sorry to hear you're going through all that. For your bone marrow biopsy be sure and tell your doctor you need sedation. You must request it with your doctor and he must request it with the hospital. I've had two bone marrow biopsies. The first was without sedation and the second one was with sedation. The second one was much much easier. It was the kind of sedation you get when you're having a colonoscopy. When I open my eyes and woke up I didn't realize that the procedure was over. You just don't want to show up for your appointment and be told your doctor didn't request sedation. Good luck it will be fine. 😊
