I am having the biopsy for axillary lymph node on Friday. A little concerned about post op, but time will tell. The nurse has to call me; but they said it is 3-4 hour procedure so I presume it will use tracking stuff and a cut.

Hi. Is this a needle biopsy? What are your concerns about postoperative? I was also scared to death before mine. Postoperative was a breeze.

Maybe look on YouTube for a video to show the procedure? I'm on my phone. And don't know how to paste a link

I had a needle biopsy of my cervical lymph nodes just over a year ago. It took minutes. They slapped on a Band Aid or two and I had no issues at all. My COVID booster caused more pain than the biopsy!
