Hi Kitty I didn’t find the blue dye any worse than the biopsy. If you managed the biopsy you CAN do this too

To be honest my consultant did say that is painful, but apparently it only lasts a few seconds so please don't spend time worrying about it. I hate injections at the dentist & if I can cope with those (I really don't like them) then this is ok.

Bless you Jo. I wish there was a button on here, like on Facebook, to click on "like" or a caring emoji lol. 

Have you managed to quit smoking yet? How are you doing?

Yeah . . . I'm expecting the worst, then anything else is a bonus

Don't they give you a local anaesthetic???

The locals for the biopsy and the Tracer were completely ok!!!

I'm just gonna have to pull up my big girl pants and remember- I have cancer and the doc is saving my life!!! 

The injections at the dentist are awful aren't they??? 

Xxxx

No apparently no anaesthetic for this one, known as an isotope injection I believe. 

You're the day after me aren't you, on the 3rd. It's hard trying to keep track of everyone's different things, I've actually made notes haha

Oh no, getting in a muddle already. Should have checked my notes! Your op is 15th same as me xx

Hi MummyMartin

Thanks, i coped with the biopsy and the tracer procedure but I had a local anaesthetic first!!

I think I'm getting my knickers in a twist and I need to stop!!!

It's when I'm on my own or awake at night!!!! I start thinking . .  No good comes of thinking at all!!!!

Yeah I'm quite positive about it all. I've 2 grandaughters aged 4 and 6. I plan to be around for a long time yet. Many memories to be made and fun to be had!!!

I know I'm having chemo, radiotherapy and hormone treatment too - I'm a progesterone, estrogen and HER2 patient. 

Wishing you well - keep strong an focused!!!!

Xx

That's OK, yeah, we're both on the 15th. No time at all really, which is good. 

Get it over and done with.
