Oh, hell yeah, needles scare the shit out of me. I've never ever had blood taken in my whole life because of my phobia - the one time they tried, I had a massive panic attack, screaming and crying and hitting the doctor. I was about 17 at the time, so it was majorly embarrassing afterwards.

Anyway, I've been told that I don't have to go through the needle horror if the lump doesn't get any bigger in the next three months. *fingers crossed*
