Minnie - my husband had a needle biopsy with ultrasound at the hospital during diagnosis. He had previously had the FNA in the doc's office and this 2nd was ordered for additional data. Anyway - I read him your question and he said it was no big deal at all. I don't remember him complaining either. I drove him because we thought it was a pretty big deal - but it really was totally uneventful.

Good luck tomorrow - we are all praying!
