Hi @Fleming97,
Just following up as I said I’d share my expereince if you felt it would be useful to hear it. I had a bone marrow biopsy taken from my hip under local anaesthetic, and it was much easier than I’d expected (and I’ve always been a wimp when it comes to needles). No pain during the procedure - just pressure and a very odd “popcorn/rice crispies” crackling feeling when they took the sample (strange, but not at all unpleasant). I was a bit sore for a couple of days afterwards, then fine.
As @Duncan has been so helpful (thank you!), I won’t add much more - but in case you hadn’t already found this, here’s some information on the Blood Cancer UK website about bone marrow biopsies. There are also a few similar posts that you might find it helpful to read such as these ones, where community members have shared their personal experiences:
I hope the upcoming checks bring some clarity and that the fatigue eases soon, and please do keep us posted when you feel up to it, and if you’d like to.
