Donna, hope its all going well for you today.
I had a similar procedure in late November. early morning for me too to do the dye for sentinel node biopsy, it did sting for about 1minute but all was tolerated after that. Had to massage the boob for about 5 minutes and then wait for the dye to travel, mine traveled very quickly so within 20 minutes that were scanning me and pinpointing the spot.
My procedure was at around midday and i was in theatre for 40 minutes. I had a 9mm tumour taken out with no node involvement which could not be felt my me or my surgeon.
i was in recovery for about 1.5 hours and then in the ward for a few hours and was discharged at 5pm to go home. Given some panadeine forte to take home if i needed it but i felt fine, just tired from the long day. My recovery was very quick.
Hope all goes smoothly for you
