Has anyone had one of these injections? Are they painful? Any side affects? Having mine tomorrow and getting twitchy WearyMabel

  • Hi. Is it for a bone scan? If it is it’s fine nothing to it. Good luck c

  • Hi, no it's for sentinel lobe id? 

    1. Hi there. I was really nervous before this injection and I can honestly say it’s nothing to worry about, I was in and out quite quickly. The lady that gave me the injection was lovely as are all the staff I’ve come across. 
  • Thanks that was reassuring! Injection done today, now for surgery tomorrow - must say I'm a bit wobbly about this but the alternative doesn't bare thinking about!

  • Hi. Im Glad it was ok. I’m not sure what operation you’re having but I had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago and some lymph nodes removed. I was so nervous  and it ended up being a long day but the staff are so brilliant and it was all fine. I was worried about having the anaesthetic but the staff are so clever in how they work and they distracted me to the point - it just happened ! Take something to occupy yourself- I did my online food shop, took a book and a puzzle book too! I wish you the best of luck. It’s also the best feeling after that it’s another step completed. 

  • Thanks for that - just what I needed as I wait to go! Yes, I shall be so relieved when I wake & it's all done. Hope your recovery continues to be stress free x
