Good luck with your biopsy. I know they aren't a picnic, but it's just one of those things you have to do. I've definitely been through worse. If you call the doctor giving the test and tell them you have anxiety they can give you a sedative to take before the test. There will also be a nurse in the room with you to talk to you while the doctor performs the test. I'm one of those people who wants to know what they are doing to my body, so if I can't watch, I like to have the nurse tell me the steps the doctor is taking. If that isn't your cup of tea, the nurse will strike up a totally unrelated topic to take your mind off of the procedure. :)  My advice is to try to stay as still as possible, because then it will be over sooner. I was in the room about 30 minutes, but most of that was prepping for the test and relaxing afterward. Keep us posted on the results, and good luck!
