@loribmt I've had one biopsy. It was at hospital, it was so painful I want have another one. They gave me a local, I felt drill go through my bone and them drawing marrow out of bone and she did that twice, never again. I am seeing a new doctor this month and praying he does not want to do a biopsy because I can not do that again. I have a high tolerance for pain but that was the worst.

Hi @hun8ln2026. Oye! You have me cringing right along with you, so I hope you won’t need another bone marrow biopsy. But sometimes they are a very necessary source of information for your doctor.
If you do need one, let your doctor know that you’d like sedation. You mentioned your last one was at a hosptial. So they are usually equipped to offer sedation. Just make sure to request it ahead of time.
There’s no stress, no pain and you wake up refreshed…usually to juice and a snack. Let me know what you find out, ok?
