Hey, I guess I didn't catch the lung biopsy thing, however, just wanted to tell you that I had one. Now, I don't know for sure it was an "open lung biopsy," however, it was a lung biopsy. They can't give you valium or anything b/c as they are doing it, they ask you at certain times to quit breathing for a few seconds and they didn't want me telling them to f*ck off at that moment. Anyway, they numb down to the lung, unfortunately, they can't numb your lung \:\) But I will say it wasn't that bad and I lived through it.

I too looked it up on the internet and thought it was going to be horribly painful, but it really wasn't.
