Diep swelling

Ive just had a diep reconstruction, 4 weeks ago my consultant and team have been brilliant but I can’t get many clothes on my tummy seems to be swollen from under my breast to under my scar. I can’t seem to eat much at a time, not that I’m complaining but is this normal. I’m living in elastic at the moment.

  • Hi helzmac,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you're getting on OK apart from the issues with the clothes. Hopefully it improves soon for you but unfortunately I'm unable to help with your question. The best thing may be to speak with your doctor. You could also give our nurses a call if you'd like to discuss anything - you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Do also use the search function on this forum as you may find others who have been through something similar.

    Wishing you all the best,
