Dye injection then surgery

Hi

Finally the waiting is over . My dye injection was done morning of op . No biggie ..Hardly felt a thing ..but we all different . Had the biggest laugh when asked was I allergic to plaster to which I replied " Does it matter won't be there in a couple of hours "

You'll be fine ..imagination far worse . Be like me I took everything they offered even when I wasn't in pain . Stay positive .

Look after your self 

let us know how you doing

Dear Jo, I had this treatment two years ago. The injection really wasn't painful, just a little strange. Mastectomy also wasn't as bad as I anticipated. Just don't expect too much of yourself too quickly. Take regular pain relief and do all the exercises that are advised.

Good luck

I've just responded to your post in the under 50s group but basically said exactly what the ladies have already said xx

i saw, thanks

how do you mean don’t expect too much? emotionally or physically?

thanks, i will

Hi

If it's the isotope injections be prepared for unicorn wee and so I've heard unicorn tears.

I've actually got a unicorn nipple 3 months later.

It All adds to the fun.

Hi

i had the injection in June, the morning of the mastectomy but honestly now it’s nothing to worry about. All the best for the mastectomy, it really is not as bad as you think it will be, take pain relief and use pillows to prop your arm up a bit, my arm was the most painful. Make sure you rest for few weeks, let everyone spoil you

thinking if you

Hi Jo, 

I was petrified with mine but in comparison to other procedures like the biopsy and fine needle aspirations that I have endured it was nothing and I didn’t realise that they had done it in the end. 

I hope my experience helps to put you at some ease.

Wishing you a speedy recovery to wellness soon.

Operation in the morning. I get to sleep at home. As no free beds
