Hello again. I had surgery late on Wednesday for a lumpectomy and lymph node removal, the steri strips that covered the incision (dissolvable stitches) for the lymph node under my arm pit have come off. Should I be getting these replaced? Why does everything seem to happen on a weekend? TIA

    @JodieMaree Call the Oncology nurses at the hospital and they will instruct you. I didn’t have steri strips just a big ugly bandage. Ring your hospital and ask to speak to Oncology ward.
