A member asked:
Do you recommend eating/drinking before bone marrow biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Does not matter: If bone marrow biopsy is the only test you will have, eating food will not affect the results. However, your doctor may plan to do other blood tests as well, therefore it would be prudent to check with her/him.
