Just getting started and scared to death

I recently got diagnosed with pancytopenia. I just happened to get the stomach virus and when it didn't go away after a week I went to the doctor. She ran the blood work and when it came back she sent me to the hematologist. He ran a cat scan on me and did blood work again. The cat scan came back clear but my blood work didn't change much. I am headed back next Friday to get my bone marrow done. I'm so scared but I'm trying really hard to stay positive. Today is a rough day, I have no appetite and have lost another pound. The unknown is so scary and all the possibilities of things that it could be are hard to wrap your head around. Honestly, I was beginning to think I was crazy. So, how painful is the bone marrow and does it take long to get results? Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
