MRI guided Biopsy - What was your experience like?

My doctor has told me I can have an MRI guided biopsy as an option for peace of mind to confirm additional small areas of cancer in my left breast. I have already had an ultrasound biopsy on one area that was found during an ultrasound. I was going to have a lumpectomy but then the doctor wanted me to do a Breast MRI. So, I then had a Breast MRI and more areas have shown up just in the left breast. They are so small you could not see them on an ultrasound or mammogram. I am wondering if anyone has had the experience that resulted in benign lesions after the MRI guided biopsy. I guess I am hoping for the best. I don't want to cause further complications as it sounds like the guided biopsy can be rough on some patients. Any thoughts?

Yes, just last May in Rochester Mayo I had the procedure. One tumor was " hyperplasia" and the other two were DCIS and LCIS. For me, I had IBC in the other breast back in 2003 with positive lymph nodes so since I have already done the cancer dance it was with tremendous relief to have this result.
