I am going for a biopsy tomorrow and as I am such a wuss and hate pain, i am a wee bitty scared!!! lol Can anyone let me know what they do? They way the consultant explained it, didnt make it out to be too pleasant!! Has anyone had one?
Oh WW darling, sorry to hear this, hope its nothing bad honey? YOu will be fine, but it depends if its inside or outside your body that they need to take the sample.
Think positive WW, dont automatically think the worst, I am sure its just routine - you will be ok darling and we will all be thinking of you, it will be painless honest, very quick procedure, a biopsy is a very tiny pair of scissors - microscopic even - they take the minutest piece of flesh to send off to test, its all over in a few moments.
I found a lump in my left breast 5 years ago ww1. I had a mammogram followed by a biopsy (Aspiration) where the consultant drew fluid from the lump. It honestly did'nt hurt and only took 5 minutes. It turned out I had a Fibroadenomea (Harmless mass) Is this the type of biopsy you're having? You're not on your own, I have to go to the breast clinic next week,Im having pain in my left breast now following a fall where I landed right on my boob in september. Ouch. Good luck for tomorrow.
hey our sash. you know i'l be thinking of you. i'l catch uip with you tomorrow night after work to say hey.

Hey precious,don't get worrying to much,they will look after you, let me know how you get on,I will speak to you tomorrow,take care sweetness XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hi sweetie.Awww,Im sure that you are really worried but honestly,it won't hurt.
I have had a biopsy on my arm a couple of years ago and I truly didn't feel a thing.They just numb the area and cut out a small piece of tissue for analaysis,then put a couple of stitches in if necessary.
I will be thinking of you and am sending you a great big hug.

Hi WW I've had a biopsy too (aspiration) and truly it was not a painful experience at all. I know you will be worrying but so many of us on AB have been in the same boat that you know you'll always get support and sympathy here.
hi wonder, hope all goes well, its difficult to know if it will be painful or not , or may just be a bit uncomfortable everyones experience is different .
Hey wondrous lady, I'm a bit late on all this (you know how crap I've been lately, pc-wise!) so I'm sorry to hear about this. I really hope it went ok today and I'm thinking of you hun. Let me know how you got on. Love ya sashboo!
