Dear Cancer Compass,
I went to the doctor on last Friday and had a pap test done on me. My
result came back saying that I have HPV. I am scared but most of all
courious. My doctor recommended that I have a biospy done really soon.
Alot of people have told me how bad the biospys hurts and I am really
scared. My questions for you all are: Are the Biopsy like pap smears,Do
a biopsy really hurts, How bad is the pain, Am I allowed to get some
kind of sedation in my prostat beforehand, Does Biopsies save the life
of most people, and How long does it takes? This will be my first
biopsy
and I am really scared to have one done. Do doctors give pain medicine
to block the pain before he or she began doing the biopsy? Please give
me some feed back on how biopsy works. Thank you all.
