“The bone marrow biopsy which, for me anyway, was a most unpleasant experience”

Worth mentioning that entenox makes this a much less unpleasant experience. My first BMB (without entenox) was dentist-drill painfull. The second (with entenox) was, literally, a giggle. It doesn’t take all the pain away, but what is left seems, somehow, irrelevant.
