Beverley Callard Details Emotional Hospital Visit After Breast Cancer Surgery

The 68-year-old says a large underarm haematoma may require another operation, with a decision expected next week.

Overview

  • At a dressing-change appointment, Callard saw her surgery site for the first time, became overwhelmed, and later said she cried in the car before choosing to view it at home and show her husband.
  • Her consultant flagged a sizable haematoma under her arm that could need further surgery, and she plans to return next week for reassessment.
  • She is recovering four to five days after two lymph nodes were removed on February 20 as a precaution following an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Post-op, she reports soreness, exhaustion, and loss of appetite, saying her husband Jon has been “force-feeding” her to help her eat.
  • Callard has openly discussed fears about her appearance and intimacy and says radiotherapy is expected as part of her treatment plan.
