Hey Tam, no problems. I ended up having two core biopsies and I was given a local. I had a tumor 2.7cm with a second lesion which turned out to be benign. I also had three fine needle biopsies done at the same time. The fine needle biopsies I didn't even feel. One of the core biopsies was very painful (sorry but think it's best not to sugarcoat it!) and the second one wasn't painful at all. Other ladies on the site have suggested also taking 2 nurofen and 2 panadol together prior to going for the biopsies to add another layer of pain buffer - reckon I'd do that! And yes it seems like the tests will never end but they are getting a wonderful complete view of how your body, bones and system are dealing with the cancer before they commence treatment. This is so they do not miss anything and give you the best outcome possible. Xx
