So, to make sure that they knew exactly where all the nastiness was and weren't going to miss anything, they needed to do one of these.
Now I've hung around enough pubs over many years to hear the multiple horror stories so I was not brimming over with anticipation.... Oooo, the needles are huge, and like 8 inches long, they often have to have loads of goes, it's agony, I've heard of people being paralysed (too late for that one, sorry!)
Imagine my surprise and delight to find I hardly felt a thing - there's an upside to temporary paralysis after all apparently.
In, out, done and off within 15 mins - thanks doc.
Then, the even better news later on (after he'd chatted other optimistic musical lovely chemo positive noise for a while), to say "oh yes, that lumbar puncture was all clear - great news eh?"
Why yes, Mr. Mike. It most certainly was.
