Bone Marrow Biopsy

The definitive test for identifying my problem was the bone marrow biopsy. It's also the test which will confirm when I am leukemia free. I've had the procedure twice in the past two weeks, and will have it performed again in about two weeks. The procedure can be done under a local, or general, anesthesia. I chose to be asleep. The sedation is almost identical to that which is used for a colonoscopy. The only reminder is a sore hip for a few days.
