Following DIEP 18 months ago . Painful nodule
Hello LCR and thanks for your post,
I can't say what this nodule could be. It is probably a good idea to get in touch with your breast care nurse to see if you need to be assessed by your surgeon.
We do have some information on our website about possible problems after breast reconstruction. It is really only a doctor who can examine the nodule who can give their opinion as to what may be causing it.
I hope you find out more soon.
If you would like to ring and chat this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a call.
The number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
All the best,
Catherine
