Hi all, I’m after advise as no professionals know what’s happening. I had a mastectomy and reconstructive last September which healed well and I went back to work. Then end of march my reconstructed breast became very painful and swollen and I was signed off work again. Last Tuesday I had 2 biopsies taken to find out if this is reoccurrence. Help had any one else been through this ?? I’m still waiting on my results Thanks Kerrie
Hi Kerrie, sorry to hear this, as ever I am sure waiting for results is so frustrating. I didn't have a mastectomy, only a lumpectomy, but I did get some swelling after my radiotherapy, which has been diagnosed as lymphoedema. I hope you get some answers soon, best wishes
Thank you for your reply, did you have pain too ?
Hi, some discomfort when i touch it and at times not long after radiotherapy I did have some more stabbing pains. Best wishes
