Well done for being brave enough for getting it checked out this far. That's the bravest part over and done with. I've found this sort of thing isn't pleasant (obviously!) but isn't as bad as you think it's going to be. And the nurses and doctors expect you to be nervous and are really good at helping you cope. Do tell them about your fear of needles in advance!
How about planning something really nice for yourself for afterwards? It'll help you look past the examination.
Oh, and listen to Helflaed. She knows what she's talking about...
