Hello,
This is my first posting. I've been diagnosed with anemia and my hematologist has suggested a bone marrow biopsy. This has me very nervous as I have heard it is a really painful procedure. I asked him if I could have light sedation and he said it wasn't necessary. I don't know if I'm over reacting or if having this procedure doesn't warrant sedation. I'm thinking of getting a second opinion and seeing if there are other physicians who would use conscious sedation or something similar. I'd like to hear what others have to say. Thank you.
