Hi lovelife

If you haven't already I would contact my breast care nurse if I were you. If may be nothing, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Best wishes

Dear Lovelife,

Thank you for your post.

Finding changes to your breast area after you have had breast cancer, can be very upsetting. Thankfully, most changes are not cancer but it is important to have them checked out.

You will need to contact your team in the hospital where you received treatment. If you would lie to talk to our nurses about your concerns, we are available on Freephone  1800 200 700, Monday to Friday,9-5.

Kind Regards

Cancer Nurse
