I had a 10-needle biopsy on my prostate and it was unbelievably painful, even thought they said they used anethstesia.

Thanks, Kenny. My DH can relate well to the horrific pain of the 10 biopsies for prostate cancer. He wasn't given the option of anaesthesia and was in agony during the procedure and afterward. He is a cancer survivor right now. He had a newer treatment where there were only five sessions of radiation one week apart. The difference was that there was 30% more radiation than usual. There were no side effects at the time, but three or four months after the last one, he became exhausted for over a year. Right now, he's almost back to normal.![]()

As a breast cancer survivor, I kinda know how traumatic the waiting for results is.
But from my experience, even a malignant diagnosis isnt a death sentance anymore.
I'm 2.5 years out from my original diagnosis. In the intervening time I've had 4 other lumps diagnosed - all of which have fortunately been benign.
I dont know if this will help or not but a friend of mine is Wiccan and told me to always wear green while I was going through my treatment.
I took it one step further and all through my treatment had a tsavorite gemstone tucked in my bra next to where my lump was.
Dont know if that will help or not but it gave me peace of mind while I was going through treatment plus I'm a big believer in positive thinking

I am way overdue (like five years) for a mammogram, although I get my breast exam annually when I see my GYN for that exam. The only time I ever had to have a needle stuck in my breast when my giant Lab caused a lump there by jumping on me and bruising my breast, causing a lump-as well as black and blue marks and scratches-on it. The doctor, to be cautious, wanted to be sure there was blood in the lump!!!
However, I am a veteran of six endometrial biopsies (biopsies of the uterus for anyone who doesn't know). Those are particularly unpleasant. In fact, my GYN actually put me under anesthesia once since he couldn't get a good enough sample from me without doing so. He said he was tearing up my uterus (or words to that effect) and couldn't get a sample, so we'd have to redo it in a few days at the hospital under general anesthesia! That wasn't my last one, though. I got better at them with practice. Luckily, when I went through menopause, I seem to have stopped needing them!
But I am no stranger to waiting for test results, either. I had an ovarian cyst that was not clear and would not resolve. In the end I had one ovary and Fallopian tube removed (it turned out to be very badly scarred) when I was 41.
I am not sure whether I shared more medical information than anyone else did in my post. If it was too much, I apologize. I am just feeling very empathic. Lots of love and dust, Isabel. And I will be praying for you!
Hugs,
Deb
