I wish I did Donna,especially since it's your mom. That is a sensitive area and has to hurt. It's been 3 years for me too but I am probably younger then she is and can take pain I still remember the needle biopsy I had below my right ear. That damn thing hurt like all get out so I know she has to be miserable. Give her a big hug but watch her chin . Give her one for me too will ya?
