Hi ladies

Could you tell me how long your sentinel scar is please?

I’m just thinking that mine is a bit longer than I would have expected.

Thanks.

Mines somewhere between 5 and 6 cm’s long, which is longer than I expected. It is longer than the scar for my WLE by quite a bit. I suppose it just depends where the nodes are and how many they had to take. I had 2 removed.

Hi Rowan4

Had my SLNB just over 2 weeks ago, my cut is about 6cm - very neat and was held together with steri-strips, healed well, but armpit bit tender - but all in all not too bad. The actual scar is just to the left of my armpit, not inside.

Thanks ladies, I guess mine is about a similiar length so that’s reassuring.

Yes mine is about 6cm too (4or5 nodes removed). Still a bit swollen and tender, after 3 weeks and so is my breast.
