Hello ladies,
im just alittle worried as im nearly 3 weeks post WLE & SNB, Im starting chemo x6 FEC on tuesday then i will need MX then rads, and today my surgery boob is looking like orange peel, im wondering if the swelling has gone down and that it why it looks like it does, has anyone else had this happen, phew worry worry worry,
thankyou
hi donna mine did look a bit like a shrivelled orange peel look at first and i think it was all down to the bruising and swelling and tissue going back to normal I still have a bit of orange peel look around nipple and underneath even after rads ( finished 1st Nov) i also thought i could still feel original lump and was really worried it had grown back but it was all down to scar tissure etc but talk to youre BC nurse if youre still worried xx
yes, i had orange peel type skin after my surgeries (2 wle). have you been putting cream on?? after surgery i was using e45. But after rads aqueous cream.
Im a year post chemo now- and my skin hasnt stayed orange peel.
