Drain after surgery
Hi..has anyone had lymph nodes removed, as well as breast excision?? Breast care nurse spoke of drain, and gave me a shoulder bag to be more discrete, and allow easier activities, bathroom visits, etc...
I had I had two drains post mastectomy and axilla clearance - breast drain came out after 24 hours, then axilla drain on day 3. I had one lot of 20ml drained out 10 days later but otherwise no problems with fluid at all. It seems everyone is very different.
