I know it's scary, but it's not bad at all. I had one done (followed by a biopsy), and it didn't hurt a bit. I saw the needle and everything and didn't freak out. Let the doctor know that you are nervous, and discuss your concerns with him/her. A good doctor will reassure you and try to make you as comfortable as possible. I know it's hard to do, but try not to worry, ok? It will be over before you know it. And, the good thing is that, once it is over, you can stop worrying. You will be fine. I think you are a lot tougher than you give yourself credit for.
