Hi Connie, I’ve had 13 bone marrow biopsies. Ten of them were at Mayo-Rochester. At Mayo, you have a choice of mild sedation where you are enjoying a lovely nap for about 10 minutes while the biopsy team does their thing. You will feel absolutely nothing and wake up to juice and crackers or Lorna Doone’s. ☺️ (My preference. LOL)
Or you elect to have a local injection such as you’ve experienced already. The speciality teams at Mayo are highly skilled and use the utmost care.
My first 3 were done at my local cancer center by 2 different doctors.
The first one was a breeze, sessions two and three done by the Marquis de Sade 😂
Anyway, if you’re comfortable with your doctor in Marquette performing the next bone marrow biopsy it’s a known quantity.
From my own experience at Mayo, I’d not have any qualms about having it done there either. What’s the most convenient for you? Would you consider mild sedation?
