They give you a local anesthetic, use a needle to remove some tissue. If they have to remove a lump it leasves a small scar, kind of a badge of courage. Depends on your level of tolerance whether you drive or go with a friend. I'd suggest a friend.

They use a fine needle to take a sample of the tissue they need to examine, not painful you can drive yourself but support is always good
