Had mine done 2 years ago.Not a nice procedure but it will save your life.It took about 40 mins was just a bit uncomfortable,no after effects.Get it done and good luck

Thanks for your reply. Really appreciate what you say

 To be honest I've always been terrified of injections, in this case the anesthetic. I can't  see letting someone inject me there. The rest of it i can handle.

You don’t even feel it,your legs are in stirrups up in the air and before you know it it’s done.They took 24 samples from me,but everyone is different my pal only had 12

Did you have a local anesthetic or general?

Hi..no personal experience ♀️but close family member and good friends have  been on this journey recently..with very positive outcome..

You say you are 'pretty sure'  but always best to get the diagnosis and prognosis from the professionals..

As for living with the condition... please get the biopsy done..

FYI.. b-in-law was mid 70's, friends were 61 and 64.

Thanks. Good advice.
