Hi @Blister,
I’m with Afraser,it might be a seroma that needs syringing off.Your breast surgeon would be the one to see.

Cancer is cancer- Gee your bc nurse sounds flippant. Perhaps she was just trying to reassure you that you had the ‘lesser of a worry’type of bc. BUT that’s not so reassuring when you had to lose a breast because of it! You certainly shouldn’t feel like a fraud- you are in the trenches with all of us who have lost a breast and don’t allow that bc nurse to minimize your experience or ongoing issues.Perhaps see your GP or surgeon and later down the track(when you feel less vulnerable) you could write this nurse a heartfelt letter? As a registered nurse of 40yrs+, I never minimized any complaint because if you do,that person may be reluctant to tell you about a real serious problem.
