Hi @Bellablor, I had a drain in for 8 weeks because it wouldn't drop to the required level for 2 consecutive days. I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using implant so my surgeon didn't want to remove the drain in case it led to a seroma, which is difficult to drain with an implant. I did find that the drain site got very sore so I added some extra micropore tape (from the chemist) to stop it from swinging around and that helped a lot. My surgeon ended up removing the drain as she thought it was causing the fluid through irritation.  As for treatment my tumor was grade 1 stage 2 with no nodes involved so didn't require chemo or radiotherapy,  although I was told if I had had a lumpectomy I would have had radiotherapy. Hope you get rid of the drain soon and get your treatment plan. All the best Xx Cath
