Cost for needle aspiration of lump?

For those of you who have dogs that required a needle aspiration of a lump in the past, may I ask how much this procedure cost? I just discovered a round loonie sized lump on one of Raven's front legs beside the elbow tonight and would like to have it aspirated before considering surgery. She's had two surgeries since September (dental surgery and removal of a benign mammary lump) and they were very stressful for her, not to mention pretty costly for us. If that wasn't enough, our other dog Rusty just had surgery to remove two anal lumps last week and is still recovering from it. Needless to say, this latest discovery of yet another lump has left us a bit shellshocked and I'm about ready to go crazy from the stress of it all. It's been a bad year for lumps. :sad:

I'm hoping a needle aspiration/biopsy won't be too painful for Raven and that it'll be a bit more friendly to our wallets too.
