Seroma/cellulitis
Wondering if anyone else has had this or similar experience. After breezing through lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy and 15 radiation treatments I developed a very red, hard , swollen breast 6 week...
Great advice @Zoffiel and @Afraser
I had a nasty seroma which needed to be aspirated several times and I ended up in hospital on 3 antibiotics for 10 days. I also had a cleanout. I was so sick , I felt dreadful. Then I spent the next few weeks with home hospital visits and was very worried it would come back. It was scary.
It felt warm for ages after. As @Afraser says, it does take time and patience. Hindsight is easy!
If you are worried definitely contact your team and or breast nurse. Cellulitis is no walk in the park.
Take care
