Hi @Nefertari and welcome. I belong to the blue boob club 😊 my surgery was 4 weeks ago. After my surgery I tried to wash it off thinking it was on the outside of my skin but I think it’s from the inside. And yes you do pee blue for a day or two. I didn’t have the clips, I had hookwires inserted which is a different procedure. When that was finished I went to radiology for the dye. They had 4 fine needles and injected each one around my nipple. I was still numb from the hookwires. The only bit of discomfort is you feel the liquid going in, but they are really nice and will give you time between each one of you need it. Then I was sent away for just over an hour while the dye worked it’s way to the lymph nodes. Then back again for a scan under a machine (it’s does come down low, but not too claustrophobic) where they marked me with pens so the doctor knew where things were. Then they gave me paper copies of the scan and I went off to wait for surgery.
I had my adult daughter with me and she was allowed to come in which helped me to have someone there. The staff were lovely and it all moves along pretty fast. You just have to set your mind to getting through it. Being diagnosed with BC is awful, but once you start getting things done you feel you have some control over it.
I will be thinking of you and wish you all the best for your procedures xxx
