Hi,

I had a sentinel node (one) removed and lumpectomy in September and the scar has just reopened for the 2nd time. First time was infection and guessing this is the same (will see gp tomorrow). Has anyone else had similar and was there any other treatment? 

  • Hi Scabs welcome to the forum. I haven't heard of that happening twice but as you say both times an infection. It's clear it hadn't fully cleared up the first time to happen again so soon so maybe you need a longer course of antibiotics. I think it's worth asking the GP tomorrow why that keeps happening  and do you need referred back to the breast team. Please let us know how you get on. X
