Lumpectomy

Hi All

 

I had a lumpectomy on 29th January I also had lymph nodes removed. I was surprised to find that they had superglued me back together. Is this normal or does it depend on who treats you. I took a reaction to the cleaning fluid which gave me a rash in my armpit which was very uncomfortable. This has now been treated and has cleared now. I go back on Thursday 13th January for my results and will know what my next treatment will be. Anyone else in Northants going through the same treatment?

Hi Angie
I’ve been through the same so I know how you are feeling. I’m not sure about the superglue. Are you sure it’s not internal or dissolvable stitching? When I had mine, I remember a fine plastic feeling stitch hanging at the side of my boob scar which wouldn’t go so I just trimmed it.
Sorry to hear about the allergic reaction, that does sound very sore.
Did you have the sentinel node biopsy or full axillary node clearance?
I wish you the best of luck with your recovery and I hope your results are good.

Hi Angie, I hope you get good results this thursday:) I had dissolvable stitches, but I think I recall my sister in law had glue and she had node clearance. It must depend on who treats you.

Take care hon x x
