Hi Afraser, thanks for the response. Yes I definitely wasn’t going to have it touched while having chemo but now as approaching 2nd follow up with surgeon I’m wondering if he will just want to go ahead and drain it as will have been 11mths and still there. I have still been feeling unwell but who would know why that is. Left over from chemo? Still on herceptin till September? Have just started on letrozole (femara) (aromatase inhibitor) (hormone therapy)? This is why I wonder whether I should have seromas drained and is it painful? Can you use emlar patches? The lymphodemic therapists are they generally in the public hospitals do you know? Wondering if could be referred to one. I do have lymphodema and wear a compression sleeve and glove and see a physio at public hospital but she just measures my arm every couple weeks and that’s about it?
