Biopsy complete - no problems
They gave me plenty of drugs, so I was quite comfortable during the biopsy. I was just awake enough to follow what was going on. I found the gadget and process to be quite interesting. Then again, I might have thought anything was interesting in my inebriated state. The doctor guided a long narrow sleeve needle into me bit by bit, each time taking another CT scan to make sure it was going into the right place. Then at the end he shot the biopsy syringe needle through the sleeve to get the sample. We'll hear the results Monday. Meanwhile, I'm feeling a bit loopy and I have a big patch on my rear.

Glad to hear this wasn’t as bad as the last time you had an invasive biopsy. It’s a good deal easier to be interested in something a doctor is doing to you when it couldn’t be confused with a KGB interrogation technique. I “enjoyed” my spinal tap a whole lot better when they did it with the help of fluoroscopy after four unsuccessful tries the old-fashioned way.
I loved getting this news. Love to you all. Willeyne
