Anyone had a 2nd op due not margins not clear?

Hi, I had to go back for a second opp. It was a lot easier as they didn’t have to mess about with the lymph nodes and simply used the same scar, just glued it back up. I didn’t have any dressing, just one of those fabricky sticky tapes which I could remove after a couple of days. I could also continue with the arm and shoulder exercise the day after the surgery. 
good luck. 

Hi, yes I had to have another op after being told not clear enough margins.  I found the second op a lot easier afterwards.  They used the same scar and to be honest found it was a lot neater than the original scar after.  Only had to have dressing on for a few days.  Kept doing the arm exercises, still do them now.  Went back to work after a week.  So hopefully you should find it easier this time.  Wish you all the best x

as Norske sais, did the same and the second one for me was so much easier

Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences, it is so helpful to hear from people who have been through it. I feel so much better about the situation. Best wishes 

My second surgery (30 hours apart) was due to bleeding, they even had to remove implant and re-do. It was a bit exhausting, but ok. I had 2 drains and one rather annoyed night staff nurse who insisted, that as they had stopped the blood thinning jab, I had to get out of bed and walk to the loo. Yes I was perfectly willing to try but felt pretty wobbly, she wasn’t exactly helpful or even polite! And there was nowhere to put the drains when I got to the bathroom, it all got a bit hit and miss! I was thankful to be allowed home the next day, and also thankful to be collected by daughter, and a supportive arm as the walk from the ward was quite a long way! 

Keeping active, a gentle walk round the house, then garden, then neighbourhood, was a great idea to start with but a daily nap when it was needed, helped, as did the shoulder exercises (shoulders hate being immobile) Then lots of boxed sets and reading when I was able to concentrate. Remember that anaesthetics do take it out of you for a while!
