Thanks to both you and Dan for your support. This time around, I was awake for my biopsy. I am a big chicken when it comes to needles so I was very nervous. The whole procedure only took 15 minutes. The worst part was getting the initial numbing shots. This time around, it wasnt nearly as bad as the first time I had one done. Today I am swollen and sore, but I was still able to go to work. The results will be in next Monday.
