  • Hi Lamont1966 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Your GP, or if you still have contact with your breast cancer nurse or team, would be in the best position to advise and answer any follow up questions you may have but if you'd like to have a quick chat with one of our cancer nurses about this, they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope you're able to get some answers soon and can get your tattoo done.

    All the best,
