Sorry to hear that. I had two separate biospies, and for me the worst part was the first one getting procedural sedation for the first time. I’m just a bit of a control freak, so the idea of being made asleep and not knowing what’s going on or what’s being done to my body was a bit trepidatious. It all went well, as did the second one. I was out, woke up an hour later (or at least was conscious and making memories an hour later). I did not experience any pain. MRI was easy, but a little nervewracking at first, as I have had past instances of claustrophobia (like 20-30 years ago), but luckily that didn’t come up again. Everybody says how loud it is, but with the headphones on, it didn’t strike me as too particularly noisy. It was more boring than anything else. If you get it with contrast, there’s a weird icy feeling briefly in your veins as it goes through.
Interesting to hear about some people not getting their test results right away. My stuff always got dropped ASAP into MyChart, before I even had a chance to talk to the doctor, and I cannot say I necessarilyi prefer it this way. When I got my first set of results, I just about freaked out seeing the word “tumor” or “carcinogenic” or something like that in there, without medical knowledge and the ability to fully understand and contextualize the results. Thankfully, I have a friend who is a radiologist who I sheepishly asked to go over the chart after a few days of majorly stressing out who put the results into perspective and talked me back down to reality.
