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
Sounds reasonable considering only 3 weeks postop. If it was a larger area to remove tissue that's probably why it's sore compared to the other site. Lots of inflammation and healing going on inside, but doesn't sound like infection (redness and feeling like crap etc, you just know). It'll settle. Ice packs sound like a great idea. Maybe the radiation doctor can check the area tomorrow.
Glad you don't need chemo. Wishing you and your husband all the very best!
