I'm nearly 2 years post initial surgery and 18 months post second surgery. I healed well and am thriving. Tonight I noticed as I took my bra off that it was catching on my breast. I have no feeling in my reconstructed breast but I saw blood. There seems to be a sharp bit in the 'cut' it's not external, it's internal. I am not really worrying and I'll ring my breast cancer nurse on Monday morning. I think it might be an undissolved stitch. Anyone else had anything like this happen?

Hi, I did have that happen to me, but the surgery scar area remains numb around the skin and uncomfortable when I push it. I'd agree it's worth getting checked out. Best wishes
