The shots have nothing to do with radiation. I had mine before surgery to inject a dye to try to see the path of the cancer cells towards
the lymph nodes. I survived the first three, but the fourth was a closed mouth scream.

I believe they are talking about having the sentinel node biopsy surgery. I had that done and they gave me 4 shots of blue dye in the nipple so they could detect my sentinel nodes. It definitely hurt! I thought they would have at least given some type of medication to relax me beforehand but they didn’t. It was not fun that is for sure!!
