Lymph node Scar red and sore

Had surgery end of May for lumpectomy and 4 lymph nodes removed from under arm and had 5 days of radiotherapy end July.   Scar healed fine where lymph nodes were removed but last few days the scar under my arm has become red and very sore at one end of the scar.  Is this normal?

  • I don’t know how else they can check if lymph nodes are clear f they don’t remove some and test them.  I only had 4 removed and they were all clear.  I might be wrong but I’m sure I read somewhere the under arm lymph nodes are the first ones it can spread to.  You’d be best speaking to your BC nurse.  Good luck xx
