Hello Myhappyplace,

I am glad to hear that your surgery and radiotherapy are now behind you. Breast cancer doesn't usually cause pain, but you have had serious surgery and it takes some time for the tissue under the surface to heal properly. If you had some lymph nodes removed, you will find that your underarm also takes some time to heal and the area can be uncomfortable. How long ago is it since you had your cancer?

I had 2 bouts of breast cancer, within a year of each other. I had a lumpectomy first time around and a double mastectomy for the second bout. It took a few years for the redness around the scars to settle completely and my breasts then looked so much better. Do you have any further appointments to see your consultant? If so, you can mention how you feel about the appearance and sensations, but all sounds to be as expected.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
