Hello Annette ,sorry to hear your news no wonder you are feeling worried and anxious .My husband has had 2 biopsies done under general anaesthetic and another proceedure to remove RT scar tissue also under general anaesthesia .On all occasions he was absolutely fine and home the next day he didn't feel unwell at all .

Anaesthesia has come a long way and they are very careful .

Have they explained exactly what they propose to do and how long they will keep you in .

Hope this helps a little, let us know how you get on.
We are hoping for clear results for you .

Bell.

Thank you Bell, I haven't heard anything yet, tomorrow I should know more as to when this will take place and all the details.

hi annette
good luck having your biopsies done.i have had 2 done under anaesethetic once when my tongue cancer was first picked up and then again about 8 weeks ago.i felt quite well after apart from a little soreness when i swallowed but that went after a couple of days.please let us know how you get on.kindest regards shirl xxx

Thank you Bell and Shirl,
Tomorrow I will have a needle biospy of the lung. Of course I as very scared. I hear you can have a collosped lung with this kind of biospy. also I am scared to know what they will find. Does anyone reading this know of anyone who has had a needle lung biospy?

Hi Annette,

I am so sorry to learn that you are having to go through all of these worrying procedures. How were the biopsies? How are you doing?
