Post op lumpectomy

My wife had a lumpectomy 6 days ago.  
She was recovering well. 
We had a long drive yesterday to Scotland to see our son which she really wanted to do. 

Today the op site is a big bigger than previous and she feels tired and unwell.   Do you think is just the effects of long journey ?   Or more serious infection in the operation site?? 

am bit worried about her 

  • Hi there and thanks for the post 

    I am sorry to hear about your wife, it is best she gets checked out by a doctor just to be on the safe side.

    As you say it could be due to a number of different things but in case this is an infection she would need antibiotics.

    I hope your wife feels better soon and the rest of her recovery goes smoothly.

    Take care
