Post Biopsy

[Ksvlm]

Morning everyone, well ive had the biopsy and I would just like to say it wasn't as bad as I feared.Laying on my side for hours was far worse,i suppose I was luky as I didn't need any pain relief. Ive just had the best nights sleep in ages. Now its the waiting game for the results, I wanted to reassure people it really isn't that bad.Thanks for all your support and I wish you all a happy weekend xx

Found the same myself. I am 3 weeks after and still waiting the results. They dont like to rush themselves.

I am glad it all went smoothly for you I wanted to ask- do they do a scalpel incision during the biopsy?

[Hidden in reply to Pizamkazdw]

Hope you all get your results soon xxxx

[Ksvlm in reply to Pizamkazdw]

I have no idea sorry

[fizzy42 in reply to Pizamkazdw]

Hi yes they did for mine, was very small, and I didn't feel it

[GrandmaDylan in reply to Pizamkazdw]

Yes. They use a scalpel first then insert the biopsy needle. Sounds worse than it is. No stitches needed and I took the plaster off 48 hours later.

Makes me feel better, thank you

I would second that I didn’t even realise it had been done

Thats good to hear, i take it that you had to remain on left side? That would be hard for me, as I have a hip bursa and can't lie on my left. Would have to grin and bare it I guess. Waiting must be hard, but I expect it takes time to for a biopsy. Same for most cancers etc. Hope its good news you all get.

Hi Hazel. The nurses were happy to let me lie on my back, I just had to stay in bed with nothing to drink for 3 hours.
