Lymph node removal site tender
Hi ladies, Just wondering if the tenderness I am having at the site of my lymph node removal is normal. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node removal done on 24/2/20 and until the weekend just gone...
Your body is healing, trying to work round the damage, so it is quite likely to be quite sensitive and/or painful for a while.
Last week I asked my oncologist why the sides of my rib cages next to where my breasts were, were so tender to pressure. She said they probably would always be like that because of the amount of cutting that had been done on the area (a double mastectomy). K xox
