Hi @herplv I am so sorry to hear about the diagnosis and everything you’ve going through ❤️.
I hear you on the biopsy after effects, I did have a lot of soreness, swelling and bruising after the first one. When I went back for the second one the thoughtful ultrasound technician encouraged me to ask for more anaesthestic if it was too uncomfortable, rather than trying to be too stoic, so I did. I also was a bit wiser about putting an ice pack in the bra straight after and took Panadol before the procedure.

I was glad my husband came and waited with me because you really just benefit from a hug. 🌻
I have noticed people on this forum are so informed so you’re in a good place.
Good luck with the next biopsy and if you can get help with sleep I also think that helps make the day better.
