Deciding whether to have diagnostic sentinel lymph node removal

What did you decide? I am getting a double mastectomy- I have early dcis in a few spots in my breast. I am allergic to many things, including MRI contrast.. which I almost died from. I am terrified of getting injected with anything. Just don’t want to make the wrong decision- thanks

Hi. I also had dcis and idc. I had a double M last week. I had two drains. I am also allergic to the MRI dye Gandolunium. Nearly died. . In the end, the surgeon decided to go ahead without an MRI. He did test my sentinel nodes plus two more because that’s with a different kind of dye. No reaction on my end to that other dye. Hope this helps.
