this sounds like a question for a specialist.  Make sure your dr explains things to  your satisfaction, insist on it.  
This here is a patient to patient forum and no drs monitor the  questions.

The biopsy procedure itself is very quick and relatively painless; but they will ask you to stick around afterwards for a bit to check for any issues that might develop.

Let us know how it goes,

Bill
