Welcome to the forum misscrd08 although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us.

Hopefully some of our members who have had this procedure will share their experiences with you soon but if you're worried then there's no harm popping to your GP to get some reassurance as well.

Our cancer nurses are available for a chat during the week so do give them a call if you'd like to discuss this with them. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

I hope the area becomes less sore soon misscrd08 and wish you well with your recovery.

Kind regards, 

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
