Hi
I just wanted to say that I was a bit apprehensive before going to my appointment at the Breast Clinic. Everyone was so kind and thoughtful. Mammograms and ultrasound were fine and I then had a core needle biopsy on both breasts. I had a 5cm lump on my left breast but during the mammograms they also saw something that needed to be investigated on my right breast.
Sometimes it is easy to feel squeamish about injections into certain areas of our bodies but apart from a slight sting from the anaesthetic needle, the whole process was painless. I was advised to get some Paracetamol but haven’t even had to take one of them!
I will get my results on Tuesday but it is likely that the lump in my left breast will be a fibroadenoma (benign/non-cancerous tumour) and I will find out about the other lump found on the mammogram.
I have nothing but praise for the wonderful staff who looked after me.
Good luck and try not to worry.

Hi Sunny
I am going to the breast clinic on Thurs and I have been worried about having to have a needle biopsy but after reading your post and knowing that they give you a local anaesthetic has really put my mind at ease. If they tried to do it without a local, they wouldn’t get anywhere near me and would have to chase me round the hospital!!
Thank you so much for posting about this
