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 have had no pain or tenderness. But over the weekend and today my lymph node wound feels quite tender and I'm just wondering if this is normal. I don't have any swelling in my arm at all however the wound site under my dressing feels slightly more swollen compared to the same place on my other side. I do have my followup appointments tomorrow but was just wondering if you think this increased tenderness is unusual. Thanks
New Diagnosis - first oncologist appointment Tuesday.
Hi everyone, I've got through all the scans, biopsys, diagnosis etc without too much trouble ( well I did have a little wobbly during the bone scan ) as I am severely claustrophobic and having my feet tied together and the camera touching my nose didn't help, lol In my brief discussion with the surgeon, he mentioned having a clip inserted and something about blue dye being injected into nipple , I think?? My mind was on overload by then so I think I zoned out, screaming on the inside. Can someone explain what the clip is? And the blue dye thingy? When I don't know I tend to get more anxious. Thanks x
