Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone has has a tattoo over their breast cancer scar? Mine is about 6 inches and I want it covered but I know I need to wait till it heals, but how long? Still need to go through radiotherapy on Monday
Eek! I did think about it but decided against it! I had 15 RT which finished in October this year so would be nowhere near ready for tattoo as the effects of the radiation on the skin make it still too tender. The healing process is longish but depends of course, how many RTs you have. BW x
I start my radiotherapy on Monday and for the next 5 days
