Hi 

I had this surgery back in april, for a papiloma, same symptoms as you. after surgery i didnt even have any pain as they injected anesthetic into the area, i didnt even feel like i had surgery, it was quick and simple and I was back to normal the following day, unfortunatly for me i got an infection and my wound opened up again, so it sbeen a long process to head but again it was never painful, it doesnt look to deformed the complications with mine make mine look worse but otherwise it was ok. you will be fine x

Hi Kim,

I'm glad to hear that you didn't suffer any pain, even when you had your infection. Do you have any follow up/review appointments or have you been discharged?

Kind regards,

Hi

I had a check up after 2 weeks in breast clinic, but luckiy I work in the same hospital in A&E, so when it started to look a bit dogy, one of our Dr took a look for me, it left me with quite a deep open wound and had to have it packed every 3 days for 6 week untill they were happy it had healed enough. It went in 2.5 cm deep and looked like i had a gun shot wound, but not painful. tbh I am experiencing more pain now than throught the whole process, I presume it scar tissue healing etc. Normally provided everything is ok with the op then you are referred straight back to the care of your own GP. it was a little bitter sweet for me, as mum was going through chemo for breast cancer at the time, just as both myself and mum got sorted, my Auntie was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, so its been a rough 18mth for us, I have been referred to genetics to see if we carry the BRCA gene. hope all goes well for you

Hi Kim,

It sounds as if you have really been through it all as a family. I am glad to hear that you and your mum are sorted now, but so sorry to hear about your auntie's terminal diagnosis. I hope that you do not carry the BRCA gene. This is such a cruel disease.

Kind regards,
