Radioactive blue dye injected to the breast for lymph node dissection

Cathy, you will be fine. The Lumpectomy is very easy, no pain, the anesthesia goes very smooth, you can request a pill beforehand to prevent nauseous and the injection for radioactive dye to locate and check lymph nodes does not hurt, it is acceptable if you just relax. You will go to sleep easily and wake when it is over and would feel a thing. I had it 2 times. Any questions you must ask, also, your doctor and understand everything. Just RELAX . runninglakes

I'm glad you had such a easy time with everything Gloria mine was totally diferent. My doctor did not tell me about the dye and no relief was given at the time. One month later the injection spot is still sore to the touch.I received the nausea pill and was sick and lightheaded for one week after surgery.Everyone has different experiences but no pain you are one lucky person if it all went that smooth. I hope Cathy has the same experience as you and every person who goes through a lumpectomy. God bless all

I should have had your doctor for the blue dye injection. For me, it was the worst pain I've experienced. Including labor!
