Hello good morning everyone.
how many times did you guys have a wound check after mastectomy?
3 weeks post op there was one, is there anymore needed? Above the scar feels like a hard lump- not sure if I should contact surgeon or the gp or whether this is normal
I would ring your Breast Cancer Nurse to discuss and check. If all was OK at your last wound check they tend to think all is OK unless you tell them otherwise. If you're having a few problems they see you more is the general way of things I've found. Say if you have an infection they check more or it's not healing well for some reason or other.
I did call before but the nurse said it may be scar tissue. But without them seeing it always leaves a question mark in my head
