Dear noosa_blue150
No I didn’t need to have the dye injection (sorry you did I’ve heard they aren’t that nice), I did ask at the initial consult if he would be using the fine wire to locate the lump and he said that he used other methods u/s. When he told me that I needed surgery again because the clip and lesion where missed I did ask again if he would this time be using the fine needle to locate and he said no it wasn’t necessary! Like OMG you missed it the first time! My DCIS is presenting as a 1cm mass so I don’t know why it was missed. Anyway I will be asking those questions tomorrow when I visit my GP.
I’m feeling that I should change surgeons but I’m already $2,500 out of pocket, he isn’t charging for anything for my scheduled surgery on Thursday but that’s not much consolation, two generals anesthetics in three weeks is not great.
Cheers
