Had WLE 9 weeks ago. As the weeks have passed and the swelling has reduced I now realise that my affected breast is quite a bit smaller.
The nipple is inverted and I have a have a soft lump above the scar. The area around the scar feels hard. I have been doing my exercises every day. I have to have radiotherapy which starts in a few days.
I don’t have large breasts and looking at what I’m left with I wonder how they will manage to do a mammogram.
Sorry to be a moan. I am grateful that my cancer was found and know that I am very fortunate that it was found early but at the moment I am really quite down at the appearance of my body.
Has anyone else had a similar experience.
Just to say don’t worry too much about not being able to have a mammogram, I haven’t been able to for years and always have an ultra sound instead which I believe is even better.
After surgery there’s always relief its over but anxiety about how it will heal, I don’t understand why you have an inverted nipple, is it a consequence of surgery? When your treatment is finished if you are still unhappy maybe something can be done about the appearance.
