Hey all.
I am 6 weeks post op after having a lumpectomy. I wanted to ask if it's normal to have hard lump, redness and some bruising still? I was given antibiotics 4 days ago and not much has improved. Is this something that will go away on its own in time and I'm being inpatient 
Hi Fannyanne
Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer. The hard lump is probably scar tissue from the operation. While I don't remember the redness and bruising six week after I had my lumpectomy I don't think it's too unusual, I'm a fast healer. If you are still worried about it next week give your breast care nurse a ring and I'm sure they'll be able to put your mind at rest.
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next for you.
Best wishes

Thank you 
my appt went well and my breast is starting to look a bit better. All this treatment has me anxious but I'm trying to let it get the better of me. X
