Thank you so much I watched Charlotte's podcasts last year when diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. I definitely found them helpful.

brie321 Just try & keep as busy as you can, doing stuff you LOVE doing, so that your brain doesn't over-ride your day, until this is resolved & you go on for your Lumpectomy & recovery!
This bloody disease mucks with your brain even more than your body, I reckon! grrr
Try & stay away from Dr Google, too (tho most of us use it sooner or later! LOL!) It can pull up the wrong stuff & just scare the pants off you!
Do you have a Breast Care Nurse that you can chat to as well? They have a much more of a 'lived experience' of all sorts of post-op issues 'we' have, as they deal with so many patients! It might just 'ring a bell' with them!
Have they actually given your 'bleed' a name? I didn't think the boob had any 'biggish' blood vessels in it! So I wonder where did the bleed came from? SO MANY QUESTIONS!
And don't forget you can give the Mods a call on the Helpline too, for a confidential chat with a real person xx. on 1800 500 258 (Mon-Fri, 9-5)
take care & all the best xx
