Silly question but I had wide local excision breast lump removal yesterday and was discharged and home last night. I have surgical stockings on from surgery but no one has said when they should be removed and I can’t remember, nothing in notes. Any advice please? Thank you.
Hi Acasia
You'd probably be better off posting this question in the breast cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who've had a WLE.
Wishing you all the best with your recovery.
