@chitown - I've had both the ultrasound and MRI guided biopsies. After the procedures they provided me with an ice pack - but only one. I purchased ahead a couple bags of frozen peas which I used to alternate for the biopsy spot to help with the slight pain as the spot became unnumbed from the procedure. For me the MRI procedure was less painful - might have been from the technician's skill, the number of spots they tested or because during the ultrasound biopsy they also inserted a marker. This would have made the MRI procedure more precise since they knew exactly where to biopsy. During both procedures they provided a helper that held my hand or just touched me during the procedure which actually helped to calm me. But the procedure itself wasn't very long. Best of luck to you. Just as a precaution if you have to travel a distance for your procedure you might want to have someone go with you to drive you home. I drove myself there and back and stopped for a beverage on my way home just to calm myself as I was driving home. But it would have been nice to have someone with me just for support.
