Now it's time to talk about the actual procedure your doctor has recommended for you.

You may receive a sedative by mouth and an intravenous line may be put in.

You will then be transferred to the operating table.

Your doctor will scrub thoroughly and will apply an antiseptic solution to the skin around the area where the needle will be inserted.

Then, the doctor will place a sterile drape or towels around the operative site...

and will inject a local anesthetic. This will sting a bit, but your breast will quickly begin to feel numb. Usually, the surgeon will inject more than one spot - in order to make sure that the entire area is thoroughly numb

You'd be surprised what you can do when you have to. I was terrified of needles and I cried the whole way through my core biopsy but I did it. It was very scary for me but in all honesty it didn't really hurt.

I can not take any of this while awake. I guess for women like me who are terrified, are only option is to die . I will never understand why a woman can be put to sleep to have this done.
