Hi, it’s nearly 5 weeks since I had mastectomy and full lymph node clearance.
I’m healing well and getting more movement back every day. But where they made the incision it has a lump round and it rubs where my post surgery bra is fastening. Has anyone got any tips?
Also is it normal to feel lumps around the scar? I have appointment later this week with surgeon.
Hi sal74
I felt very lumpy at scar sight and under arm told my surgeon he checked said all normal it is scary after having mastectomy and node clearance always worry they missed something or there’s a recurrence
Where bra rubbed I used soft dressing pads to stop friction hope that helps take care xx

Thank you I will try the padding. Feel a pain or anything and I overthink.

I have raised bump where my scar begins on my cleavage to where it ends under my armpit. These are probably the two most sensitive areas because everything in between is still so numb I’m covering it with gauze held in the place with plaster while I get use to wearing a bra again because I don’t want my scar rubbed against the seams of a bra and it’s working. I have my softie in my post surgery bra and when I go out my breast look in symmetrical with minimal discomfort. Hope this advice works for you xx
