I had same experience as Celtic485 a few years ago. It was inhumane and painful. I swore I would never ever do that again. Fast forward to today. I have been told I need to have another biopsy and to be honest I will decline unless they use general anestheia. I do believe they put you under for colonscopy and I also ask the question, suppose it's a man and you do the same procedure on their private part in the same manner. I explained it to my husband and he said no way would someone put it in a hole, raise a table with it hanging and tell you to lay still for a few hours while they stick needles in it, punch a hole in it, stick wires in it and use suction while several strangers ignore that you are a human being laying there. I don't know why they say it's non-invasive with minimal pain. We deserve dignity and that will only happen if I'm not awake and aware! Thank you Celtic for being honest, I feel so much better that others speak up.
