I’m having surgery on Thursday for lumpectomies both sides with a sentinal node injections planned for tomorrow.
I have foolishly been reading the internet regarding the injections and now feel quite nervous.
can anyone reassure me please.
It’s not nearly as horrible as the biopsies I presume you’ve had ? Injection near nipple - stings a bit , I had strange warm feeling . Sent away for a couple of hours till the stuff does it’s thing then back for a scan to make sure the tracer is showing up your sentinel lymph nodes - scan machine is like a sandwich toaster !! It’s not completely enclosed and goes over you slowly - takes about 5/10 mins . I asked if I could turn my head to one side as I’m claustrophobic . I hate scans but it wasn’t that bad at all .Good luck on Thursday .Jill x
