Skin Biopsy

Hi All: My skin biopsy has been scheduled for Sept. 6th. I just saw my GP yesterday and this is such a quick appointment that it scares me. Anyway, what do you think, can I drive myself to this? The hospital is about 45 minutes away and it’s my right breast that has to be biopsied. Nor sure that makes any difference for driving, (We do drive on the opposite side of the road) but I do wonder what I’m looking at for pain. I have no idea what type of biopsy it will be. Thank you.
