Hi all… It’s been 12 days since my surgery. Last two days I’ve had a lot of stinging sensations though the pulling has stopped. Last night and today I’m hurting in the same area my tumour was… It’s the same feeling I had there before surgery… Paranoid!? Worried about infection, told I could have light shower with dressings on and dry them thoroughly which I have. Wondering if I should get hubby to take them off and change? Was given spare dressings last week. I’m at plastics clinic on Thursday for dressing change and still waiting for my pathology results appointment with consultant. Not expecting that until first week November and starting to worry again. Days are long. Xxx Tina
Hi Tina ,
just read your post . That’s strange I had exactly the same feeling after my op for a couple of weeks and still do now and again , pain coming from the exact place where the tumour was . I even felt like I had pain shooting out from my nipple which was impossible as it isn’t there anymore . So you are not alone just remember to take your painkillers. I had my op 21st July this year which is about 12 weeks ago .

If there is a leakage,change the dressings,however,if dry and comfortable,leave…let them do it on Thursday.
Ah Tina, I get your “soulmate” being away Plus losing your daughter from home - it must pull at you Mums. Has she gone far ? Despite you being a strong women - don’t underestimate the effects of this BC. I still say it’s better to let it out /flow.
Yours and Chris’ sugery sounds amaazing. Mornin Chris.
Hope you have a good day
