Getting Magseeds in 23rd September been told it shouldn’t be painful but still nervous 

  • Hi  

    They will give you local anaesthetic first so it shouldn’t be painful. I think everyone is nervous. Tell them you are worried and they will make sure you are properly numb before proceeding.

    I am a Macmillan volunteer.

    I have metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer, in remission

  • I had a Magseed inserted the day before surgery. Its similar to a biopsy and very tiny. They run a little no contact  probe over boob whilst in anaesthetic room to check its in place on the day of surgery.

    Its nothing to worry about xx

  • Hi there,

    I expected it to be the same as the biopsy, but it was nowhere near as uncomfortable. I was surprised when the radiologist said it was done!. I worried a lot beforehand, but need not have done so.

    Sending love and best wishes. x
