Hi, I too had a biopsy for Vulvar Cancer last week and my doctor used liocain in a needle to deaden the area before...The initial inserstion of the needle hurt, I won't tell you differently, but only for the seconds it was put in and then nothing and nothing afterwards...I felt great afterwards and now, so I do hope you will continue your treatments, etc... Unfortuantlely, I received the dreaded phone call from my doctor two days later and it was positive, stage three, so I go in Oct. 2 for some more test to see how far its advanced and to where and then we will go from there for treatment...Funny thing is, I hadn't gone to my GYN in about 10 years as I didn't think I had too because I had a complete hysterectomy...Boy, was I wrong! I went in because of the bleeding, hurting with urination and thought I had a bladder infection and fallen bladder again, so any women out there, you "MUST" go to your Gyno at least once a year...I also hear Vulvar Cancer, because its so rare and been misdiognosed as a yeast infection and other things...My doctor iniatially treated me for a bladder infection...Best Wishes To You, Deb***
