Hi May,

I had a lumpectomy nearly 13 years ago, followed by a bilateral mastectomy the following year for a new cancer. Since then I have had the occasional bruise from the usual knocks that we encounter in our day to day lives. These have gone through the same colour changes you describe, which would be normal for any bruising. The only difference is that none of these covered the whole mastectomy site. Have you been doing any activity that might cause this? It doesn't sound like a cancer reccurrence _ I felt another definite lump second time around.

I hop that the breast care nurses phone you back soon and can give you the reassurance that you need. 

Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks for your reply Jolamine, 

I haven't done anything different the last few weeks that I haven't done tye last few months, maybe it is just how my skin will go from time to time now, but I'll keep an eye on it and let you know  what it could be.

Thank you,
