@loribmt also 13 bone marrow biopsies? You are incredible, im getting ready to throw in the towel at 1. I will absolutely ask about sedation options, I just have to find out if my insurance will deem sedation medically necessary or if they'll only cover an anesthetic.:/

@chorusgirl500 LOL. Let’s just say the biopsies weren’t ever on the top of my list of fun things to do…but they were vital to my diagnosis and follow-up to treatments!
I really will admit I prefer sedation but would do it with just the local anesthetic if I had to. However, with sedation I got to wake up to Lorna Doone cookies and juice! Like dangling a carrot in front of my nose!! Yes please. LOL.
Good luck with that insurance…I just wrote in another reply to you about wishing we didn’t have to jump through hoops like a circus act to get approval for some of our vital tests!
