Then I'm guessing its more of like what I had for my cyst where they just numbed the area. Which didn't actually work and I ended up feeling everything they did and it was one of the most painful things I went through. And they were aware it wasn't working. Yeah, they said this biopsy wasn't urgent so maybe I'll just avoid it for a bit even though that will just make me even more anxious. Its kinda like going to the dentist. I put off going but then worry nonstop.
