Any last minute important questions I should ask my team of surgeon's before my surgery tomorrow? Also, will I be awake or under when they inject me with dyes to check my lymph nodes?
@A MyBCTeam Member good for u, it ps not comfortable ! But, only lasts seconds!
I was awake but my dye went in the day before.
I had radioactive isotope injected after the locator wires were put in. They had problems getting in one of the locator wires so, by the time they put in the radioactive isotope, I was so numb I couldn't feel anything. I was numbed a total of three times for the needle locator wires and the isotope. They put the dye in after taking me into the or after I was sedated so I didn't feel it.
Mine was actually the radioactive isotope that burnt/hurt so bad but was not unbearable. I had it done at the hospital I work at and a friend of mine was the nuclear tech that dat I squeezed the crap out of her hand
That dye going in burnt like crazy for me but I made it through fine, had mine done bout 2 hours before surgery
