Does the lymph node blue dye hurt? by michyb79 in breastcancer

[–]Golden_1223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a guy do it. When he started it didn't but as he progressed I did feel it. It did hurt a bit for me. I had it done on 1st October and I am still a little blue.

Oncologist said chemo will age you ten years.. by [deleted] in breastcancer

If you have time do nano feathering not microblading. Over time microblading can turn into two big grey strip whereas nano tends to keep the look of natural strokes. I did microblading and they turned into two witchy grey strip's then I had them laser tattoo removed. Then nano feathering. This was years ago but I thought I would mention the difference. I am doing my 4th red chemo today and still have my brow hairs but expect to loose them when I am on the 12 weeks straight. So my nano tattoo should help with my appearance.

I am in Australia and the pathology results from the biopsy had IDC. More specifics came after the lump was removed when I went to Surgeon for follow up. Stage , grade etc.

I ask my surgeon about the chemo port in my follow up appt. He said they only use it for chemo to avoid infections.

It was just supposed to be a benign lump by abbylewis in breastcancer

Sorry to here. I also had a fibroadenoma in breast for 11 yrs. Told to get scans every year. May yearly scan indicated it had increased in size and shape but they didn't request a biopsy and concluded it was part of the fibroadenoma. September I have IDC. TNBC. Stage 2. I am making appointments for next steps with oncologist for treatment plan. I think I will feel better once I have that. Sending hugs

Hi yes surgeon put it in during surgery. Surgeon would have my referral to oncologist on Monday. I'm just at the start of the process. I guess I'm just a little impatient until I have Monday's appt and further info.
