Any advice

Hi, I'm Hayley, I had an operation to remove a 28mm lump from breast almost 4 weeks ago....I've noticed today that where the internal dissolvable stitching is, has a lump there.....is this normal at this time post surgery, or should I be worried!(It's a large lump around that area-not particularly painful!)

    I'd phone your bcn and mention it to be on the safe side. I had a 22mm lump removed and have a solid lump under and above my scar. Consultant and oncologist made no big deal over it, so general swelling or scar tissue ? Mines also quite big. A quick phone call will hopefully put your mind at rest.
