Do not let the fear of fainting prevent you from having the biobsy. Try the Xanax. Make sure the provider and technicians know ahead of time so they can do everything possible to make it as calming as possible.

Do you think time of day would have an affect? I know I like my tests first thing in morning so I do not spend all day thinking about them.

Have you rescheduled the biobsy? Do you have someone to accompany you to appointment?

I have it rescheduled for the morning of July 18th. My husband is coming like he did last time. But I'm terrified of fainting yet again. Just the thought of what is happening upset me - but I didn't feel hardly anything with the numbing - it was hardly any pain. I wished they could just prop me up if I were to faint and do what they need to do - but that isn't possible.
