Hello from a newbie with a few questions

I had a lumpectomy on 13th May, and while I know it will be hard a lumpy around my scar for a while, I’m a bit concerned that the whole of my breast is really tender and sore - but no redness anywhere. Am I expecting things to recover too soon?

Hi Dannj

Whilst you are waiting for the other users to reply with their knowledge and experiences you might find it helpful to give the helpline a call and talk things through with a member of staff, who will offer you emotional support as well as practical information.  Lines are open Monday to friday 9 to 5pm and Saturday 10 to 2pm.

Hi Dannj

 

It is still early days and it’s not unusual to still feel sore but of course if you are concerned then get in touch with your breast cancer nurse.
