Thank you for your concern, I am having this biopsy because of an enlarged uterus and my ob/gyn wants to rule out endometrial cancer. I do not have a tipped uterus. I will be taking 800 mg of advil before I go to the doctor's office since I live only about a mile from his office. I will also be taking the bottle of advil with me in case he is running behind, GOD I HOPE HE ISN'T, as I am nervous enough. Then after that, it is off to bed for me. My 16 year old daughter will be home to take care of her brother and sister and get me anything that I need.

Once again, thanks for your concern.
