I am so sorry to see you going thru all this brie321​  - and welcome to the 'club' ... the one no-one ever thought they'd be joining! xx

I can't offer any suggestions re the clots and hope the surgeon gets back to you soon - and I hope your discomfort/tightness lessens asap too :( 

Gosh, that sounds really unusual - so not surprised your surgeon is discussing your case with colleagues!  

I had 'callbacks' for the first 3 years after my surgery for a variety of reasons - and had biopsies each time - but they were very straight forward with no issues other than major bruising (one of the Drs used me as a pin cushion, I reckon, they had so many goes!)

You're not on blood thinners or taking aspirin regularly at all?  Fish Oil capsules can also thin the blood a bit ..... 

I hope you can find out the cause - so that a solution will be offered 

If you get sad/frustrated with anything - give the Help team a call on 1800 500 258 (Mon-Fri 9-5) for a confidential chat - and consider listening to Charlotte Tottman's podcasts.  She is a Breast Cancer Onco-Psychologist who was diagnosed 5+ years ago and has 'lived experience' of what we've all gone thru - she had double mastectomy, choosing to remain flat.  Her reaction to her own diagnosis (and ongoing treatment) was markedly different to what she'd been advising her clients over the years!  She had the same fears & confusion with 'the process' and is well worth listening to!  She is very easy to listen to.  She has 2 x 'seasons' ... this is the first from the first series.
