Hello to all

Tomorrow after what seems a very long wait, Iam scheduled to have a lung biopsy in order to reveal what this thing in my chest actually is. Not doing well at all, shaking uncontrollably at times because I know the news is not good, the question is,  how bad. Mets in several places.

Can some kind soul tell me what it is like to have a CT guided biopsy?

With thanks

  • Hi Greengirl, I know how scary all this must be for you. I’ve not had a ct guided biopsy, but hopefully someone else will be along shortly to talk you through it. 
    Good luck for tomorrow.

    Hi Greengirl. 
    Apologies.  Hit send button in mid flow.  I had an 
    endoscopic biopsy in my lung 2 years ago which was not the best experience, but also had a biopsy on part of my neck at a later date.  They inserted a hollow needle and took sample.  To my amazement it was pain free.  Hope all goes well tomorrow.  Fingers crossed
