Hi Boxermad, I'm sure the surgeon 😷 will take into account your breathing problems while performing your biopsy.

Wishing you the very best outcome & please try not to worry too much. 😔

You're not being silly. I think anyone would be anxious under the circumstances. 😐

Take care & please let us know how you get on 🌷

No B0xermad . You are not being silly on the slightest. I so understand your worry. The important thing is to make sure the doctor and nurses knows your worries and that you're anxious about your breathing. If they know you're anxious I am sure they will do all they can to make you comfortable. Thinking of you. xx 💐

It always helps me to close my eyes and hear the ocean crashing against the shore and me tiptoeing gently into it. Sounds silly but it helps ease my anxiety
