Hello!
I had a magseed inserted in 2024, I also absolutely HATE syringes and especially needle core biopsies of which I've had two!
However I didnt feel the magseed insertion almost at all! I was really scared but the woman how did it was super skilled and it was very quick and relatively pain free! Hope you will have a similar experience! Having a biopsy is way more intensne in my experience, you've got this! x
Hi greenplastic ! Thanks so much for your reply! Wow that woman is amazing! I had my procedure today, and let's just say, I survived it but it was still very challenging.
Now I need to have the blue dye injection day before the surgery and again, I'm absolutely PETRIFIED!!!! It horrifies me. Did you have that done maybe?
Sorry for the late response, I hope the dye injection went well - I don't remember it being too horrible but maybe it did sting a little bit? I assume maybe you've had you surgery already. I hope it went well! I've had both blue dye injection before a lumpectomy I had done in 2024 and sadly had a recurrence this year so I've just been through a second surgery with a full mastectomy (left side only). The second time they injected me with some radioactive material the day before rather than the dye and put me in a CAT scan to trace what lymph node it went to. I feel like the experiences were quite similar except my boob is not blue this time around! It did go away eventually though!
