So not BRCA but PALB2 and there doesn't seem to be an active community.

Just started my surveillance this year as a 36F. Had my first MRI and they found a likely lymph node. Got an ultrasound to clarify it further and the ultrasound report suggested an MRI guided biopsy.

For those who have had one - how much do they hurt?

Do I need someone to come with me?

Could I head to work in the afternoon?

The spot they're biopsying is about 5mm in my axillary tail.

Any words for advice or stories of people's experiences would be appreciated.
