I had a TPE in June along with some lymph nodes removed from my left thigh. I had a biopsy yesterday as some “growths” appeared at the incision site. Has anyone else experienced this?
Totally understandable JenJ . It is easy to go to the worst case scenarios in your head but it’s a big surgery and the body is doing its best to heal .
I am trying to think back but in 15 years I have been here I think only heard of one man who had an issue and that was from tumour tracking from a biopsy .
My understanding is there are lots of different issues can occur from incisions . But what I can assure you once you have had a cancer diagnosis they are inclined to work from ruling out rather than ruling in . I used to feel sorry for my mum as every lump and bump was thoroughly investigated. It’s a good thorough thing but tough on the nerves .
Take special care ,
