I was driving my puppy to the vet for her shots, and I started crying bc I was I was thinking of how attached to me she is and what would happen if I have cancer and don't live through this? Then I started thinking about my children and Grandson and it really had me overwhelmed.
I have been praying that it is nothing but I hondestly don't have a good feeling about this. I mean I continue to feel like this story keeps getting worse and worse. Now I found out how a biopsy is done and I find it rather horrid.
I read where you lie on a table with a hole in it and the affected breast goes through the hole and they put like a press around your boob and the table rises and they operate underneath you. I heard this from a girl at the gym and I didn't believe it until I read it online. There are all types of biopsys and this is the one I don't want! The Stereotactic Breast Biopsy!
I am going to tell him Heck No!! on that one.

Joyce, your mind is working overtime on this. Hugs. I know that this is hard for you.......the waiting. Don't let your "feelings" and what friends have to say upset you right now. Go take a nice hot bath with bubbles and candles.......relax and just take care of YOU for awhile. Let the worries right now just go away and be calm. This may be the calm before the storm.........or there might not be a storm at all. I'm sure that everyone has a horror story to tell........don't listen. You have to just take care of you. We're all here for you if you need us.

Please try to stop worrying - i know it easier said than done, i went through similar feelings myself, but put on a very brave face to my family, because i knew if they knew i was worried they would be much worse.

I have never heard of that method of biopsy personally, mine was very painless, and quick, i honestly didnt feel anything, i just sat up in a chair.

I think your mind is playing you up a bit and it is worse because you are having to wait what seems like forever.

You will be ok, make some notes on questions you want to ask, dont feel silly, as you may forget to ask at the time.

Take care - lots of hugs coming accross the world to you.

Joyce I'm so sorry you're stressing so much over this, but it is normal. All of us would stress if we were in the same situation and many of us have.

Have you called where you are having the biopsy done to see if you can get in on a cancellation? That way you wouldn't have to keep waiting. I personally would want it done and overwith as soon as possible.

You're in our prayers Joyce.

I went to my consultation and I am having a core needle biopsy on jan 11. Has anyone had one of these and how painful is it?

[Janet]

If this is where the Dr. sticks a needle in to draw fluid, then for me....it didn't hurt at all. Wish they didn't make you wait till the 11th, that's just too long to worry. We all said you shouldn't, but we would all be worried too, we're human. Will keep you in my prayers.
