Dear @Sue_w
The fever may be caused by anything but keep an eye on any further development. The fluid in a seroma is a lovely nutritious soup for bacteria. I had two bouts of fever, both relatively mild, with a persistent seroma, before the real whammy - sepsis and a week
in hospital. My surgeon (I should have seen him sooner) solved both the infection and the seroma once and for all. Chances are it’s an isolated reaction. Best wishes for your chemo, each one completed is one nearer the end!
