Mrfreeman, I had my bone marrow biopsy in my oncologists office and I'm being honest in stating that it was a somewhat comfortable experience. probably because I chose ,conscious sedation. I was given the lowest dose of Ativan , IV, and all I felt was a little pressure for a second or two. My doctor nurse and myself talked and joked during the procedure. I needed a ride home because I didn't know what my condition would be but was able to drive later on that day. I never had any pain or discomfort at the biopsy site. This may be unusual but I'm not fearful if I need another. if it needs to be done there's no way out but to do it!!! good luck and I hope you have the same experience I did.
