Hi guys sorry for the hassle so got home late last nte . Has so who has same surgery as myself found bruising. I have lots of bruising on the left breast were the cancer was & were it seems he took the lymph nodes out to check them . Now it’s not hot to touch & only little swelling which is to be expected but was worried is the bruising normal . I do have peca dressing on as I have Crohn’s so just to heal quicker and less infections . If anyone has any advice about the bruising plz many many thanks guys xx
Hi
sounds like we’ve had very similar treatment and yes, I had lots of bruising all over my chest. I took photos every week and it took 8 weeks for them to heal. I know that I bruise easily - always got bruises on my legs - so I assumed that was why I looked so battered!
