WLE question

I had a WLE six weeks ago - so it’s still early days. I was told to expect a “bit of a dent”, but above the incision scar I have a fairly deep “hole” where the wire was inserted and the surrounding skin seems tightly pulled in. Has anybody experienced this?

Thanks and good wishes to everyone.

Hi Anna,

I was told the same as you. I had a WLE over a year ago and still have the same result as you. I wouldn’t worry about it. I never think about it nowadays!

I too have a *big* dent after WLE last year, for me it got bigger after rads, like Margaretw it doesn’t bother me too much

Thanks very much indeed for the reassurance, Margaret and Marge.

Dear Anna. Has anyone talked to you about possible reconstruction options? Maybe you could ask your bc nurse, if you think you might be interested in recon.

Hi,

I had my WLE on Monday and my nipple has inverted. will it come out ever? I also had lymph nodes out but strangely the breast wound doesn’t hurt yet! Results Tuesday! If all is now clear, radiotherapy in a couple of months? Is anyone else waiting that long to start it?

All the best,
Ruth
