Tomorrow is the day I head in for my biopsy and then the wait for results 

  • How it goes well for you. 

    It was better than I thought actually.

    Changed, but not diminished.
  • Hope everything goes well. I had heard a lot of scary stories before I went in for mine, but chatted to the nurse all the way though and the discomfort after was surprisingly mild. Hope you have the same!

  • Hello  

    I hope all goes well - just in case you haven't seen it here's our guide for you:

  •  I hope all goes well for you. I didn't read any of the scary stories before my biopsy and thank goodness I didn't as mine went without any more than a little discomfort. The only pain, if it could be referred to as pain, was the local anesthetic injections. The nurse who supported me through the procedure was wonderful, we chatted and cracked jokes throughout.
    After the procedure it was simply making sure that I could pee without problem and then sent on my way.
    I don't know if all trusts use the same process but in our case they 'seal' the biopsy points with a glue, as that comes away in a day or two I can leave you to imagine the removal process but it's nothing to be concerned about.

    Good luck for the future,

    Rod

  • I had heard about all the scary stories, however procedure went well and just some discomfort today 

  • Great to hear! A friend of mine said his biopsy made him feel awful for a couple of weeks and he was very confused when I said I was fine straight after Rofl Good luck with everything 

  • The procedure went well, popping the pain killers this morning but it's more discomfort than anything else so far so good 

  • Good Morning  

    That should be the most painful part of your journey - waiting for the results can be a time of anxiety and I wish you well with these - please do keep us posted when you get them.

    Enjoy the weekend.

    Best wishes - Brian.
