  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to our corner of the online community.

    I had a WLE and SLNB but not in the same place as yours. My WLE was on my arm so the SLNB was from my armpit. 

    When you say you are worried that the dye will "last for a long time", do you mean that you think the area that it's injected will be discoloured? If so, I had no visible signs of the dye it just turned my wee blue for about 24 hours.

    Hope everything goes well next week.

  • Hi,

    thank you for responding yes I was just concerned due to them having to inject the dye into my forehead. 
    I have reached out to my nurse and been reasured of the procedure.

    thank you

  • Hi, 

    My SLNB was on my scalp - again no issues with dye whatsoever. 

    Good luck! 

  • Thanks for the reassurance.
