Number of stitches following mastectomy

Hi, does anyone have an idea of how many stitches you receive following a mastectomy, random question that's annoying me. Thanks 

  • Hello Marycod and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had a mastectomy will let you know how many stitches they had soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm.

    Your doctor or breast cancer nurse (if you were assigned one) should be able to answer your questions about this as well.

    Kind regards,
