I've had a number of biopsies (Hmm, this is #13 -- White spots started 15 years before my first tumor emerged) and they have all been 'awake', but they were all very accessible except this last one.

Thanks, David -- My daughter is coming for a visit over the weekend, so I'm not letting the wait put a damper on things.
