A member asked:
What should i expect for a biopsy of nodule in neck? will it hurt? how long is the procedure? how many times will they stab? will they numb the area?

Hope it helps: Surgeons may give a tranquilizer , general anesthesia, or local depending on how large the thing on your neck being biopsies is... If it is a lymph node and is small they may provide small local numb medicine and then inject with a needle to do another biopsy. If it is a skin biopsy again depending on the size can do a local numb as well. Anything larger they may perform general. You will do fine.
