bone marrow aspiration and a bone marrow trephine biopsy
note:
There are two main types of bone marrow test - a bone marrow aspiration and a bone marrow trephine biopsy. Aspiration means the doctor sucks some bone marrow cells up into a syringe. A bone marrow trephine means that the doctor removes a 1 or 2cm core of bone marrow in one piece. Both were performed on me today, better safe then sorry.
