I had a Left Mastectomy Sept 2020, I had breast cancer back in 1995 two operations..I see you all had a drain in after your ops, I didn't..I did however have it drained Oct 2020, where I suffered a massive heart attack, that's beside the point..I am & have been really upset by the look & feel, the surgeon said give it 12 months, but nothings changed, it's tight lumpy & painful from time to time.....Maybe it's my age who knows..I'm 75

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that you've just dealt with your second diagnosis of breast cancer and that during your treatment you had a heart attack. This coupled, with the fact that you are not happy with the look and feel of your breast, must be very upsetting.

    I wonder, now that you've given it 12 months, whether it would be worth speaking to your BCN and explain to her how unhappy you are with the results of your mastectomy.
