My Intact™ Biopsy Experience

When I went to have my breast biopsy, I was taken and placed on the stereotactic table.The doctor and technologists prepared me by telling me how the procedure would be done and what to expect. I was told what was happening each step of the way. The hardest part was lying on the table and not being able to see what was going on. The doctor injected the anesthetic and waited a few minutes for it to take effect. I felt nothing after the injection and everyone in the room was so pleasant and professional. The doctor explained that I might feel some pinching during the procedure, but I felt nothing! The procedure was a lot faster than I expected. On my way home after the procedure, I did not experience any pain. The only discomfort I felt was a little soreness when I raised my arm. By the next day, I was feeling just fine and couldn’t even tell that I had had any procedure done. The area where the incision was made healed fine without any issues.

“We had two instances in which we removed the entire lesion and in both instances we told the patient they didn’t need to have an open surgical procedure because it’s gone.”
