Here at hospital...just had mag seed inserted ready for lumpectomy on Tuesday...now waiting for mammogram to make sure its in place...I feel such an emotional reck...it was not painful having it done....just uncomfortable
I was the same I think the thought is worse. I ended up having the mag seed put in during the mammogram but it wasn’t sore. I had a lumpectomy and reduction next and that also wasn’t as bad as I thought. I had drains in for a few hours and didnt feel them either. It’s a lot trying to stay strong so don’t beat yourself up. Everyone gets emotional at some point. Let it out and then keeping going. You’ve got this x
Yes your definitely right...thoughts are much worse x
