No but I would appreciate good advice.
You are panicking pull your perception away from your heart rate instead go toyour thought what would you normallybe doing if you werent thinking about surgery a the place where the biopsy is done you will survive probably given a local anaesthetic and given some advice then you leave go wherever you decided to go
@ZebraAspie
Are you asking about the procedure of the biopsy, how
to deal with that?
I haven't had that particular procedure, but I did experience
a surprise at the Ear/Nose/Throat specialist. He used a tube
that went up my nose and I had to swallow for it to progress
through my throat. It was a looking device, no samples taken.
He didn't announce this procedure beforehand, just asked his
assistant to get the whatever-it-was and then started in
with it. It was nowhere as difficult as I had supposed, from
seeing things like this on television.
As far as a biopsy goes, I have had a uterine biopsy done.
The doctor was very skilled. It was less painful than a usual
pap smear. She had advised me to take 4 Tylenol before
arriving.
If you need more information about the procedure, your
doctor's office should be able to provide that. If it's coping
with fear/anxiety, there is a technique called FLOAT you
might want to check out.
