Hi all. First time here. I was diagnosed with breast cancer for the 2nd time back in October 24. I had a mastectomy and lymph node removal on 12th November. I am now having hormone treatment. The first time, 30 years ago, I had a lumpectomy and lymph node removal followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The incision has healed well but wondered if anyone here is suffering with various swellings that some have hardened? The incision area itself isn't swollen. The hard areas are a little uncomfortable but not painful.
