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?

@loribmt thank you, yes I will ask for sedation next time. No one should go through that awake. Will let you know about visit with new doctor on September 15th. Thank you. 🙏
