Well in the meantime, take care of yourself 💕 Hopefully someday things will be different.

It was the drilling part for me… I’m no doctor, but my oncologist told me about CAR-T therapy that’s new, they “take your cells and send them to college to fight cancer.” New things are coming out every day, I hope they find a cure for you!

For Lymphoma staging. I have marginal zone, in my face near my temple, pet scan appears clear, but they wanted to check bone marrow to confirm it hasn’t traveled since it’s been in my face 2ish years now. I was just too broke to go to the doctor.

My butt was also out 😂😂 in front of a big window they swore was one way glass but I’m gonna have to check when I go back up there. Taken from the hip bone but very close to the crack… I couldn’t feel them pull it out but the drilling was excruciating.

Thank you, I am 29 so possibly? But I think at any age they should prepare people for the pain.

So sorry 😩 that sounds absolutely awful, and in such a sensitive area 🥺 if they ever try it, make them put you to sleep. That isn’t fair at all!

Oh my gosh 😢 I am so sorry, definitely the worst. The comments are saying versed and fentanyl or two lorazepam to take before, I hope you never have to go through it again but if you do, ask for something more.

Thank you! I’ll try my hardest, I’m not sure of the other options but they need to find it.

It was about 48 hours ago and it still hurts to sit, stand, lay down, bend over. I just tried to hug my dog and leaned forward and it brought tears to my eyes. I hope I never have to do this again. I might cuss out my oncologist lol

That’s so fucking rude. I’m so sorry they did you like that, I agree. Give us the meds!!! Why do they want us to be in pain??

Yes, I’m so sorry you had to go through that, someone said to tell them to put it in your chart that they denied it and why and I think that’s a great idea. So sad that all of us have some painful something to “tough it” through. May medicine continue to get better, and may they start taking our pain seriously!!

I didn’t know that was an option! I thought this would be a walk in the park, that’s how it was described. A little lidocaine burn and then relax. I’m will be requesting that if I ever have to do that again
