Lori: The next time they do a bone marrow biopsy on you tell them you want to have anasthesia (sp) and they will put you under for it. No pain and great drugs you just go to sleep and wake up later. The first time I had one done it was at my doctor's office under local anasthetic and they went in FOUR times because they couldn't get any marrow....PAIN!!! Once I started to go to Moffitt I found out that you could be put under and that they never cause pain if it can be avoided. The reason they couldn't get any marrow was because I was Stage IVB non-hodgkins lymphoma (Mantle Cell) which is very rare for a woman under 60 (usually in men over 60).
Good luck to you and God Bless.
