Jackie, that seems to be the typical routine for BMB. My first one was very painful and done with me on my side and in a hospital bed. My next doctor had me on an exam table and on my stomach while she drilled my hip bone, MUCH BETTER! I've had two more and they were not that bad... the technique of each doctor is the key to a good or bad experience. Some places have technicians doing it because they can do more patients than doctors and get better at it than the doctors.

Maybe I am wandering too far into an already unknown territory (and 
apologise if that's the case) but I have already been told that I will have 
to have another bone marrow test in three months time and then one every 
year after that.  Although I hated the test it seemed logical to me with the 
little that I know that this should happen.

my doctor does not do BMB either. I only had the first initial BMB and
now 2 PCR although every month I have a blood test (CBC)
I often wondered if I should be having something more.

Could I hear from others if their Oncs are still doing BMB's. Mine
says they are not necessary anymore as I am in remission. He says
PCR's are sufficient. Is it time for me to seek out another Onc?
      
Your
    
answers would be deeply appreciated, even though I have not
participated in the group for a very long time.
Thanks again, Bev
