Diagnostic tests - bone biopsy

My step daughter has a legion on her spine and is due to have a bone biopsy this Friday 10th Jan. She has only been offered local anaesthetic which she has had previous experience of not working eg dental and contraceptive implant removal. We don’t understand why she isn’t being offered sedation. It will be a CT guided biopsy.

  • Hi Wendy25,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now. I'm not sure if you've found out more since posting here. You can of course discuss any concerns at the appointment beforehand to get any reassurance as needed.

    In the meantime if others here have similar experience then hopefully you'll get more replies to your post.

    I hope that the appointment goes OK tomorrow.

    Wishing you all the best,
