Hi KittyCarmichael,

A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear how worried you feel about. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer and I never even noticed the tracer being inserted, until I was told that it had been after the procedure. |It is normal process for most of us to get these inserted, as it helps your surgeon to pinpoint the exact position of your tumour. The blue dye is very straightforward, so I'm sure that you'll be fine.

Make sure that your consultant knows that you are a fainter though, as this will give him/her the heads-up and they can be prepared, just in case. Do you have a date for surgery yet?

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hello Jolamine

Thanks for replying, yes I'm extremely anxious. I know nothing about cancer, I've no friends or relatives who've been through it. Been a bit of a shock. Also, I'll tell the consultant that I'm a fainter.

Hi Kitty,

This is one of the most worrying stages of our cancer journey, when there are so many unknowns. Unfortunately, you will get to know more about cancer as you travel this journey. I lost my mum and other relatives to this disease, but it still came as a shock, even though I felt that I was prepared for the news.

Diagnosis, treatment and after care have all improved so much since Mum had it and there was just no comparison between the care that we both had. I am now 14 years down the line from my first diagnosis and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life.

There is no question that you cannot ask your care team. You will probably find it useful to write down any questions you have and take this with you to your appointments. You will get a lot of support and advice on this site as you travel your journey.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
