What kind of anesthesia does MD Anderson use for giving bone marrow?

Hi,

I may be donating bone marrow for my sister with luekemia if I come back as a match. Does anyone here know what kind of anesthesia MD Anderson uses, general or regional?

I have a very crippling fear of general anaesthesia, so knowing the answer would very much help me better prepare.

Thanks in advance!

(PS Mods – sorry if this isn't the kind of thing to post here, but every hospital is different and I didn't know where else to ask for MD Anderson).
