    I love helping people and I was considering donating marrow, but when I got hospitalized and had a bunch of test run on me, I haven’t been fond of needles anymore. Watching this made my eyes tear up. my pain tolerance is pretty good, but when they are poking the same spot over and over again it reminds me of the pain I went through myself.. My arms were bruised for days and sore. Ugh, now I have some thinking to do. mmmmm

    As for the regenerative medicine with the marrow self-administration from culture increase multiplies after bone marrow transplant, is epoch-making for the existence of own from the root; might be changed radically.

    Hi zufarking,

    Wow – 7 times, that’s a lot… I’m sorry you’ve had to had them so often, that doesn’t sound fun. May I ask why you have had to receive so many? Wishing you all the best.

    Had four of these now along with a Hickman line removal, latest results showing in remission hope it stays that way, good luck to you and hope all goes well with your treatment

    I had this done this morning. Honestly, it wasn’t that bad for me. They numb your skin and the outside of the bone and none of that hurts. They can’t numb the inside of the bone, so it does hurt a little bit when they’re extracting the marrow, but it’s really quick. It feels more weird than anything. I just took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and it was over before I knew it. Good luck to anyone else who is having this done!

    i almost wanted to cry for her

    @professorprestodigit Hi Professor Prestodigit,

    Thanks for your comment. I admit the choice of film is a little ironic, but really we were just discussing a film she most recently saw. I really didn’t mind. It’s too bad that your oncologist is moving – it sounds like you are in great care, and hopefully she will refer you to another warm, excellent physician.

  15. professorprestodigit says:

    And I think she might have chosen a movie other than one about Nazi conentration camps to talk about during a potentially very painful medical procedure! This video really helped me to better appreciate my oncologist. She is very human – very warm, laughs easily and is not afraid to reassuringly touch or even hug her patients. Unfortunately she’s moving to new Zealand in a couple of months, but I feel really blessed to have had her since my diagnosis of a rare blood disorder four years ago.

    @Rileyix Having just come home from my 3rd BMB I’d like to throw in my two proverbial cents. This girl may have a lower pain tolerance or a different reaction to the anaesthetic than I do, but mine haven’t been too bad. And actually, I’m not sure of this doc’s technique. Mine today asked about the pain and gave me a second shot after the first one; in obvious distress, this girl says that another doc kept asking her about the pain, but even with that clue this one just keeps right on drilling.

  17. bulldogtheory says:

    @Rileyix Thanks Riley for following up.

  18. Rileyix says:

    @bulldogtheory I’m not sure why I’m having the bone marrow biopsy as far as I know its something to do with genetics to see if I have inherited some sort of condition (not sure what the condition is). But I can see that I can be educational as I actually thought taking bone marrow seemed rather strange and I was trying to think how they could take bone marrow I often thought of doctors cutting limbs off so comparing it to that this doesn’t look too painful

  19. wizardmori says:

    あの時から何もかも完全部分やり直す。
    From bone marrow transplantation to regenerative medicine is the very much best policy in the reality world. You should be able to absolutely do it. I start all perfection part again from then.
    現実世界に於いては骨髄移植から再生医療こそが最大最高最良の方策だ。絶対にやれるべきなんだ。

    @Rileyix I’m rooting for u that the bone marrow biopsy, if that is what ur having, will be as quick/ painless as possible. Do u know why they’re doing it? My goal is not to scare anyone; rather, it is to educate and inform. From a patient perspective, it’s hard to see what’s going on when lying flat on the stomach, so I thought the video would assist. frm a doc perspective, I hope it will educational and perhaps a way for new doctors to continue to develop compassion.

    @ziba222- My doc at MSK is painless. I’ve had 4 so far, one at LIJ, 3 at MSK in NY. My current doc’s theory is that you shouldn’t feel anything but a little pressure.

    At LIJ it took a lightweight hemotologist (<135 pounds) 10 minutes and an assistant to get it done- not my cup of tea.

    Today (a few hours ago), he went for 2 aspirations and a biopsy- didn’t feel a thing (except the lidocaine from the nurse.)

  22. Rileyix says:

    :/ I’m 16 and I believe this what I’m having done to me in about 3 weeks time. And all this painful comments and the video doesn’t help me get rid of my nerves D:

  23. bulldogtheory says:

    @ziba222 Hi ziba222,

    I’m sorry that it was such an awful experience – what did you have the bmb for?

  24. bulldogtheory says:

    @t93093 Hi t9303,

    I am sorry that you’ve been going through such a tough time, especially while still a teenager. You have a knowledge beyond your years of things that no one should ever have to experience. I’m glad that you have been getting anaesthesia for your bmbs, and I hope that your treatment ends soon, that you recover quickly and that you live a long, happy life that going forward will be cancer free.
