Mammogram vacuum assisted biopsy
I had this procedure on the advice of Breast Screen before diagnosis. Haven't heard much about others having it. It wasn't pleasant.
@j9k I have just read your very honest post. There's no right or wrong in the decisions we make. It is about being comfortable in your own skin so to speak!
As to the vacuum biopsy, goodness, it does sound a very uncomfortable process. When we are told we need this biopsy or that or whatever we tend to trust the medicos and can be a bit surprised by the discomfort that we feel and say hey you didn't tell me that part. It's a little like the medication and the side effects, which are briefly mentioned, but damned they can be a little uncomfortable until the body adjusts.
Take care
