I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March this year I have had my lumpectomy done and a biopsy on my lymph nodes. It has been two weeks sense this was done and was wondering if anyone else has had a leakage of clear to pinkish fluid still coming out from the wound site. If so how long will this last.

A helping hand
Yesterday after work I called into my local supermarket to collect a few things and had a mind full of what I needed and what I had to do next, as I walked around the corner of an aisle I came face to face with a lady that looked just like I did a year ago.
