I had my sentinel lymph node biopsy on 13th September and had the WLE at the same time. My groin scar continues to weep fairly heavily. Any advice how long to expect this for.

thanks heel

  • Hi 

    I didn't have any 'weeping' from my SLNB so I don't know if this is normal or not. I would suggest that you give your SCNS a call tomorrow in case it's a sign of infection. If it's red, hot to the touch or painful then I'd give NHS 111 a call today to ask their advice.
