I am 4 weeks post WLE and SLNB. I had my wound check and the consultant was so proud of his work took photos 
everyone on the medical team were impressed saying it was healing well and the consultant did well to avoid a skin graft.
I on the the other hand cannot see what they see.
The scar is a long and wide L shape which sits from my elbow up to the bottom of the t shirt. I know I should be grateful but for me it’s the first thing my eye is drawn to. I’ve been wearing long sleeve tops since October as my initial biopsy was large, and the scar not pretty. Yes this new scar is tidier but it’s so big and I feel that I am now even more self conscious.
i have a clear CT scan and hopeful to have a clear SLNB in 2 weeks and this is a big weight off my shoulders but I can’t seem- yet to get over a scar that’s so prominent or know how to move forward from seeing it and becoming friends with it.
have people had similar concerns and how have they learnt to live with it.
