Bone marrow biopsies (trigger warning)

NicoleLeukaemiaCare profile image

Hi all,

We're currently developing some online information for patients about bone marrow biopsies and we want to make it as reflective as possible to a wide range of patient experience.

We've devised a very small survey to ask some key questions about the procedure which may be able to help shape our information.

If you have a few minutes to fill our survey, we'd really appreciate it. The link can be found here: forms.gle/nek9MB7TC5XNr6gT9

We can appreciate that bone marrow biopsies and thinking about them can be very triggering, so please do not feel obliged to offer your experience if this is going to cause you any sort of trauma.

Thank you!

Have shared mine , interesting, each BMB experience has been different for me, Have had from nurses, registrars and consultant, I often wonder if the different experience was because of differing skills or luck :-) never used the gas, might try next time
