Soreness after lumpectomy
Hi All. I had my lumpectomy on 20 December. I had two lumps removed and four lymph nodes. Ever since the op my breast has been very sore. One of the incisions is pretty good but the other one is quit...
Hi Ady,
early days yet, it can take awhile to stop hurting I found ice packs good. Good luck with radiation, I had clear silicon bandages put on my breast they did a great job of protecting my skin. Not all hospitals use them so maybe you should ask about them. The first couple of weeks were fine on radiation but then an overwhelming tiredness descended and still hasn't lifted after 4 weeks. It just takes time be kind to yourself.
