Have just been diagnosed with breast cancer 3 weeks ago. Have had surgery for removal of malignant lump in right breast and 9 lymph nodes. Had drain taken out 2 days ago and now feel that under my arm...

Sorry to hear about your troubles but welcome to the website, it's a great place for advice, there is always someone on here who can help. I had a lumpectomy in Oct 2013, I only had the sentinel node removed and had no drain. So unfortunately I can't help too much. Sounds like it could be a build up of fluid but I'm sure other ladies will log on that have had similar problems and will help. I know it must seem daunting at the moment but you will find you can get through this. As for chemo, I was terrified at first and while it was not always an easy thing to cope with, I managed to come out the other side. I am now one year since diagnosis and feeling really good, even back at work:) I coped a little better when I took one day at a time, looking too far into the future can seem overwhelming. I wish you all the best for Monday and for the rest of your treatment, sending big cyber hugs to you,
