With my first biopsy, I was told all about it and I was told that it was only one in twenty that the lung could collapse with having the biopsy but as it happened it happened to me. And my lung collapsed so they had to insert a small tube in my shoulders, somewhere around my shoulder and they withdrawed just over a litre of fluid. Fluid or air I don't really know what they withdrawed but they did say just over a litre.
How was that? Were you-
It wasn't too bad, it wasn't, the biopsy itself was nothing. All you felt was just a sting but the withdrawing, that wasn't too bad neither after he'd got the little tube in that wasn't- it didn't feel at all bad. They're very nice though, They all these doctors and nurses are when they're dealing with you.
Did it worry you when they-
Well, when the lung did collapse it was very pain- it's painful but when, once they withdrawed the whatever they withdraw it goes back to normal and you feel quite alright. I was allowed to go home then straight away. So there's nothing to worry about with that.
So you were aware that something had happened?
Well, I was aware after they'd done the biopsy I was aware that something had happened because I felt in pain when I moved and they told me to sit still. So… That's all.
