My scar is horrible. It is not straight like I see some on TV. It looks awful but I feel bad about complaining and would be terrified to undergo more surgery.
I am pleased to see so many of the lovely ladies on the forum have got back to you with their experiences and some useful tips.
As many have said it is worth trying some bio oil, if you haven't used this as yet as it really can help with scar tissue. Also do speak with your specialist nurse so they can take a look and see what they suggest. Sometimes it is appropriate for the surgeon to tidy things up but see what the nurse says and go from there.
Undergoing any treatment for cancer can be gruelling and dealing with any after affects can be tough at times, especially with self image, so be kind to yourself.
Wishing you all the best but do get back in touch if you want or need to.
