Lumpectomy

Hi Toffie 

Pleased don’t be afraid to contact the nurses. They shouldn’t be annoyed, they are there to help, and it shouldn’t be bleeding 10 days out from surgery. 

I'm afraid you need to go and get sorted. The BC nurses will be able to do that. They are busy but sorting you out and answering questions is their job. There are alternatives though. The dreaded A&E but they might redirect you. Have you tried your GP. Again they will probably redirect you but if you plead your case and the hospital is a long way they might help. I have in the past gone to the McMillan centre at the local hospital. I had to just go and wait but I did get seen. You have to be receiving treatment which you are.

Doing these things yourself is never a good idea. There is no back up if something goes wrong.

Speak to the team on here is another option but I am Quite sure they will say the same thing, you need to be seen.

On the bright side my Dad always said when a scan itches it means it's healing.

Hi Coddfish/silverberg

i took your advice and called the Cancer nurses I was told to come in immediately. The nurse removed the bandages and told me to let the wound air. Also called the consultant who treated me to check it. He said it is healing well and the bleeding is because of the bandages. It is healing and just needs some air to it. Also to get a proper bra and to get measured. I made an appointment with my local M n S for tomorrow. Thank you both your advice it means alot x

That’s excellent news. There is a boxed bra, it’s their best seller I use to buy. No wires, firm control. You need it fairly close fitting. 
Good luck

Hi, just be aware that if you have radiotherapy, your boob will change again ( smaller) x

Thank you Aia

The nurse said that i need support and to prevent any liquid gathering under the arm pit. I will buy one and then later on if need a smaller one will get smaller one x
