Don't google! First commandment in BC land, talk to your surgeon or oncologist, so you get a complete picture. Your oncologist will discuss options, these may well include chemo, so take someone with you who can take notes/remember as it can be a lot to take in. My oncologist gave me information about my proposed treatment in writing - may not cover everything but it's a good start. My drains came out in 4 days at my surgeon's request (he didn't want to risk infection). BUT I got a seroma (persistent fluid) which may have occurred if I'd had the drains in for weeks (there was no fluid draining after 4 days). So best advice I can give is follow your surgeon! Best of luck for the next stage, always feels good to start knowing what you are dealing with.
