Hi,
It’s been 3 weeks since my lumpectomy and Axillary Lymph Node Clearance, my lumpectomy scar is brilliant however over the last couple of days my arm has felt really painful and hot, I have also got some swelling sort of under my armpit. I am going to ring the doctors tomorrow but any ideas what it my be xxx
Thank you everyone, I have spoken to my BCN who has advised me to lay flat bra less for a hour in morning and an hour at night for the couple of days to see if it reabsorbes back into my body. I have an appointment on Thursday if if doesn’t to have it drained. Oh well a good excuse to chill and watch movies x
