Although I didn't have a total resection, because my lump is close to the clavicle and far from the nipple and areola, I have a chance to save milk. But my lump is 2 cm long, so the scar is longer than 2 cm. Half a year after the operation, the scar has obviously subsided, but I feel that the skin has obvious traces after radiotherapy. These days, I found scars with obvious black spots all week. And the scar is hard, I don't know if it is related to the cold weather.

So I want to tell my friends who are about to receive radiotherapy here that it is also very important to care for the skin during radiotherapy. If there is slight peeling and thickening, you can spray the affected area with salt water, and the effect is obvious. I have done experiments myself, and this method was also told by my radiotherapy doctor. You can rest assured to use it.

Attached below are photos of my radiotherapy.

I had radiotherapy in the hottest weather, and it was easy to sweat after radiotherapy, which was harmful to my skin, so the weather was also very important during radiotherapy. Personally think!

I hope my answer can help some people!

Because the scar left by the operation is too big, it may not fade so easily. It's been almost 20 years since the operation, and the scars are still clearly visible, and sometimes I feel itchy.

However, the current treatment methods are more advanced and ingenious, the wound is smaller, and the healing may be faster and better.

It is said that there are various external plasters to relieve scars. You can try.

Finally, good luck!

The color of the scar will be lighter, not as bright red as it was at first.
