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.

If it helps, 3 of my biopsies and 2 procedures were done with numbing only and they were fine. I didn't feel anything with any of them.


I think the thyroid is a much less sensitive area than where your cyst was (if I remember your cyst right) and so it's easier to numb and stay numb.
