SLNB post op lump

Hi BoshBashBish, My thinking is that the specialist skin cancer nurses would rather tell you it’s nothing, or that they want to have a closer look, than you ponder over the change, as the diagnosis is stressful enough. My nurses are lovely and very supportive, and when I apologise for bothering they say that’s what they are there for. I’ve not had a WLE or SLNB, my lymph node removal was laparoscopically done so I’ve not got the experience your looking for but I hate to see a post go unanswered.

KTatHome Thanks for your advice. I will give the nurses a call.

cheers

Hi

When I had my SLNB I did have a swelling in my armpit for several weeks. However, I wouldn't call it a lump as such more a large soft area. I agree with KTatHome and if it's worrying you get in touch with your SCNS.

Let us know how you get on.

latchbrook I will contact the nurses as the lump isn’t soft and more solid.
