So i had a cat scan on my neck recently and they said they need to give me a biopsy to figure out what this is.so what is a biopsy? are there needles?

Man up!: There's needles and perhaps worse. Many biopsies are taken using a contraption that actually takes a bite of tissue, like a pooper-scooper but razor-sharp. You heal. You've been to the dentist. It won't be as bad as that. Your physician thinks there's an off-chance you have cancer that could be cured with early intervention. Stop worrying about needles, do like an adult and get your biopsy done.
