Very anxious about bone marrow biopsy

Posted by tamlyn74 @tamlyn74, Jun 4 10:14pm

My doctor recently diagnosed me with ET. My platelets on 6/2 were 1189. I have to go back in two weeks for labs and another checkup. He said we will discuss bone marrow biopsy. What can I expect when procedure is being performed?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

I have had two with freezing in the fresh part of my hip. Both biopsies were not painful just a little discomfort when they went in the bone.
I am having a third one soon and not worried at all!
