Sentenial node biopsy side effects

Hmmmm. Don’t know! Someone else may have an experience of it, I haven’t. I would keep an eye on it though in case it’s surgical jaundice, if you’re not happy with how you’re looking still tomorrow I’d probably call the hospital and get a professional opinion, all the best x

Hi I am not due my surgery till next week but my consultant has warned me he may use blue dye and if so it does affect your skin colour for a few days and can make you look “ quite unwell with an odd pallor “ . But as always any concerns speak to your nurse . How are you feeling after the op ? Xx

Yes, my face colour was awful when Iooked in the mirror; looked like a ghost!! Settled in a few days, was a shock though. Nurses on ward when I commented said is related to the dye.

Hi petty thief actually feel quiet good today. I am a little sore but surprisingly well. Still look a bit like a ghost. I know they said I may get discolouration on the boob but it's very blue! And yes you can expect to pee blue for awhile. Good luck next week I hope you feel as well as I do after your surgery.

Hi Gander phew that's a relief thank you. It was quiet a shock when looked in the mirror.  Ironically I feel really good sadly look like a ghost.

Thanks Anna apparently it's a side affect of the dye ! 

Yes, I’m pleased others did know about it, that’s the great thing on here, lots of combined experience, there’s always someone with the answer. Hope you’re feeling better soon x

Hello Underwatergirl, I had the dye prior to surgery last May and my boob - now named Papa Smurf - still has a blue tinge so be prepared for it to take quite a while for the dye to go x 

Lol Papa Smurf love it. To be honest blue boob better than the alternative

I had a blue face apparently and looked quite pale.I still have a blue boob it's been a  month since my surgery.It doesn't wash off it just fades in time. if your feeling unwell from it , phone up Breast care nurse double check your on the right path , that it's not infection. Xx
