"Bone marrow sampling"

I attended Wishaw General to have a bone marrow sample taken, I was a bit concerned as I wasn't sure what to expect but from start to finish that staff were great, they made me feel very relaxed, their care was amazing.The procedure only last a few seconds and other than the injection of local anaesthetic to numb me up I felt nothing other than a dull ache for the few seconds when they actually removed the sample from my pelvis.When the procedure was finished I was offered tea and coffee (and biscuits,) which I happily accepted.

The over all experience was nothing like I had imagined and with the excellent staff there to look after you there is really nothing to fear.
