I had one last spring cuz I was having some problem with my brain mets and my onc wanted to see of cancer cells had migrated into the spinal fluid (which they can do) Fortunately it was negative- The procedure took about a half hour- slipped a small needle in between the lower spinal discs to withdraw a small amount of fluid. I had to them lie flat on my back for about 3 hours-otherwise you risk getting qa really bad headache. I found that hard especially since I had an IV in which caused me to have to use the bedpan frequently! I did ok though- it was not too bad- felt fine the next day. Good luck. Patty
