Biopsy

On October 30, 2008, both of my breasts were biopsied along with a lymph node. The way they identified you before each procedure was to ask you for your birthdate. I asked if I gave the wrong date could I go home and not have to go through with it? Nope. They wouldn't let me change my mind.

Before they start, they explain what they're going to do. Hearing it was more frightening then the actual procedure. For the uninitiated, they stick a needle in one of the most sensitive areas of the body. They tell you you will hear this loud click and to not jump. If I understand correctly, a little pincer comes out, grabs a piece of flesh and rips it out. Considering how scary it sounded, there really was no pain after they numbed the area. The stress, however, was incredible. The results won't be available for 3-5 business days.

So I'm waiting.... Who do I tell that I've changed my mind and I don't want to ride this ride?
