To shave or not to shave

Hi,

First post , early breast cancer diagnosis, two weeks before Christmas.

I am having an injection tomorrow, radioactive dye, before a op for a lumpectomy on Thursday.

I don't know if I should to shave my armpit prior to it all happening?

Any help would be great.

Hi Lyn, I'm having the same thing done Thursday next week. I was wondering the same thing. My concern was maybe getting an ingrown hair or something. I'll be keen to hear what the others say. I might also pop in and see my breast care nurse next week. Good luck!
