HI Mumma123, i've just started on my journey , i've just had a biopsy on my left breast, like you I too felt scared I thought it was going to be very painful, but I have to say the nurses are so relaxed and caring they put me at ease and even to the point of taking the biopsies I found myself accepting what was about to happen, the dr who was actually doing the precedure kind of did a dress rehersal if you like so the noise the biopsy needle makes a loud noise, but having been shown this just before getting started I felt in control well sort of . I had 3 samples taken it took about 5 mins from start to finish. honestly it was so much easier and pain free than I had conjured up in my mind . please don't stress about this its really not painfull. I've just had my operation on my tumour and i'm now thats removed I have to wait for the results from hematology. good luck x

Hi [@Oliver2001]‍ 

I am sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis, I hope all works out for the best for you. 
 

I am just terrified of the whole process, and having to do it alone. I suffer with anxiety anyway and this is just absolutely frightening me, I'm not scared of needles just scared of the outcome afterwards. I guess only time will tell. Thankyou for reassuring me it means a lot xx
