Hi, I’m 9 weeks post lumpectomy. My wound was completely healed however over the last couple of days I’ve noticed some oozing from the wound.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
thanks Sian
Not exactly oozing but I did have some weirdness with the stitches... I think they were disolvable ones but (sorry for gross image coming up) one or two of them seemed to come out through my skin a little after several weeks, and then fell off on their own. There was the teensiest amount of pus and I've had no problems in the 5 months since then.
Do give your breast care nurses a call. It's important your wound heals up nicely and it may be nothing to worry about, but it's exactly the sort of thing nurses want to be hearing about so don't hesitate.
