Good luck to you Karilann. I am praying for all benign reports fro you.

I just had my third Thyroid biopsy for a large dominant nodule. It was benign. That have to check it for your benefit.

The first biopsy years ago I had lidocaine, the last two years I didn't have any and they suck and scrape at the throat with a needle to get the tissue and fluid for testing.

It didn't hurt. No worse than the injectables.
Good luck my dear.
