I had a mastectomy on the 17th August all went well still in some pain and the glue they used has gone so hard it is catching on clothes. Is there anything I can put on this to stop it happening I don't want to keep wearing a dressing day in day out.
Hi Wonder woman
I'm sorry to hear that you had to have a mastectomy. While I haven't had your experience I noticed that you didn't have any answers yet so I thought I'd reply to you to bump you up to the top of the discussion. Hopefully someone with the experience you are looking for will be on to give you an answer to your question.
Best wishes

Do you have an appointment for post op check any day now?
Your breast care nurse will have the answer - they usually do!
My surgery was early July- so sure you will be fine.
