I would cancel like I have done before, but this time I am part of a study group for Louisiana State University and they are paying for everything and reimbursing me for my gas to go have the test done. I have already filled out the questionnaire that goes with the study. Why am I so nervous? Any replies would be welcomed.

I am from cancer family. I felt lump. It was getting bigger and it was so so painful. Since my family memebers have gone through breast cancer. I was super nervous and just freaked about it. My friends told me that they didn't feel anything. They said that it's just a little uncomfortable.
Is you are scared about getting hurt, then I suggest taking extra strength Advil or something. I am always nervous about getting test done.. I think it's very natural for anyone... You are not the only one.
If you are a person who gets so much pains with pinches, then take Advil before you go.
Good Luck~!
