Bruising

grayskies

I am over three months post lumpectomy. I am bruised and tender at my incision site.

I did SAVI radiation over a month ago, and that incision site seems to be healing much better.

Is bruising and tenderness this far out normal or should I call my surgeon's office? TI

I did not have any issues w/ bruising at my incision site. I had typical radiation starting about 5 weeks after surgery and I know that I wasn't feeling tenderness or bruising at incision site from then on. (I don't like touching scars, so tenderness measured by how it felt touching clothing or skimming across it with lotion during radiation treatment weeks.

Not an emergency room issue, but I would call surgeon tomorrow and see if they can look at it.
