Hi Kym, I think this was very uncomfortable but the ladies who carried out the biopsy with my breast in a mammogram machine and using a vacuum pump type implement were fantastic. I was bruised and sore for 3 weeks. I had two areas of the left breast done, one area was left with a dent but the other area was ok. No I just couldn't do it again but I know it was very useful for my surgeon.
