@tomatack This is what I would say also. I had mine done in a hospital with a doctor experienced in the procedure. I had mild sedation, and he explained that I would feel some pain and pressure when he inserted the needle and drew out the sample, but it would only last a few seconds. So I was prepared for it, and like you said, worrying about it before hand, was a lot worse than the actual biopsy.
