I had an FNA and core biopsy done. They actually take tissue sample with a core biopsy, whereas the FNA they take out fluid.
I had a good experience with it and felt no pain. The radiologist was wonderful and made sure I was good and numb before doing it.
Just make sure you rest for 48 hours after....no running around....stay down and watch tv and keep your icepacks on and off.
If you have a FNA is it true you can go back to work that same day, but you are saying with a core needle you have stay home for two days? I'm not sure what I'm having I thought he said core needle, but I definitely will find out next Thursday. Will be so glad when this is over I feel like my life has been on hold since December.....maybe I'm making too much of this, but I sure am scared. I don't think I'm so worried about cancer, but that I may have to go on a medication for the rest of my life and I hate taking pills. I need to get a better attitude and be grateful for what I have! :)
