Hi I had a wide excision and sentinel node biopsy nearly 4 weeks ago, all is healing well and scabs gone. I really want a bubble bath so wondering if now I can?

  • Hi 

    Hope you’re recovering well.

    I know what you mean! I really missed a hot long soak on the bath, face mask, lots of bubbles- cheeky glass of wine……

  • Not sure what happened there!

    It wasn’t the wine sadly! Lol

    What I was trying to say before my phone sent the message was, I had a Lumpectomy and all my Lymph  node’s removed in November and was advised to avoid having a hot bubble bath, until everything -  especially the scars were fully healed. 
    Tbh, I’ve only had one since  - I’ve been showering instead. I’m having chemo now and have a PICC line in, so makes it difficult. I’ve got a waterproof cover for the PICC, but I caught it when trying to put it on and it caused a few problems so I’ve been wary since.

    It’ll be what I do with that glass of wine when chemo and Radiotherapy are all done! Lol xxx
