Good morning lovely ladies,

2 years ago i had a WLE left breast plus sentinel lymph nodes dissection.

i had 15 radiotherapy sessions after.

now have had local recurrence of TNBC , left breast mastectomy and I Axilliary node biopsy on Tuesday 16th.

can anyone tell me if my incision etc will take longer to heal as its the same side i had radiotherapy on ??  Thanks. ??
