Bailey, those of us who have been thru things like the medical debriefment tend to take these things in stride as just another thing we must go thru. Ive had it done more times than I can count and Im sure many others here have as well. Its not to say we dont mind it (Im sure we all hate it) its just we have learned to adapt and do what we must do to eliminate the cancer and recover as much as is possible. Ive had so many biopsies that Im ok to have it done without numbing my mouth or being put to sleep. Its amazing on what you can get used to when you dont have a choice.
