Well I had my biopsy yesterday. It was totally different than what I expected. It reminded me of filling up an air matress by hand. The pumping motion .(if that makes sense) They found another nodule so they had three to do. They took 3 samples out of each. The doc explained that they needed to get a good sample so I wouldn't have to come back and get it done again. I didn't feel anything on the first two, but pressure, but on the third one, the doc said it was in there deep and I could feel the needed to they had to numb the area again. I think the numbing hurt worse though than the actually procedure. I'll know in a week what the tests confirm. I have a feeling though it's not cancer. :-)

Today my neck is sore. The tylonol is working great though. Thank you for everything
Kim
ps. not to scare anyone, but it didn't look like a fine needle to me, so i have no idea why they call it fine needle aspiration. :-)

Hi Kim - I guess you'd hate to see what a big needle aspiration would be!!! I'm glad that you posted back to let us know how it went. It will help someone else who might have to go through this to know how it was for you. Keep taking that tylenol and hope you feel better soon!! Let us know when you get your results, OK? Hugs, Cathy :)
