I'm newbie - diagnosed in March this year with invasive breast cancer. I had surgery at the end of March and immediately reacted to the blue dye they used and had a massive anaphylactic shock.
I have heard this is extremely rare and just wondered if anyone else experienced this?
Unfortunately after my chemo I will need additional surgery because they didn't achieve clear margins, and the prospect of further surgery is worrying.
