- Trikki2MemberThanks for sharing @arpie. I feel so much better after chatting with you all. Wow a while to wait for you. Glad you are ok xxx
Trikki2 - arpieMemberHi @Trikki2 .... as the other lovelies have said ..... chances are it is a seroma (a collection of fluid in/around the surgery site that causes pain & lump.) Turning over & lying on that boob is a tad uncomfortable & sore.
I felt a lump in my OTHER boob about 6 weeks ago & also pain 360 degrees around my nipple area of my surgery site from Mid Jan. I had to wait 3 weeks to get into the Mammogram/ultrasound at Port Macquarie (my preferred site) .....
Yep, seroma on the surgical site that should 'absorb' shortly - otherwise watch & wait .... and the 'other lump in the other boob' is nothing to worry about - also a watch & wait - I'll have both tests repeated in Nov/Dec.
Try not to worry (difficult tho it is!) Try not to 2nd guess it - chances are, it isn't! ;)
Good luck on Monday. xxx - Trikki2MemberThanks lovely xxx
- AfraserMemberSure is, the one I found under my arm scared me more. It's a schwannoma and also harmless. I have discovered that my body has all sorts of weird and wonderful bits I never knew about, and the nice thing is that most aren't out to hurt me! Good luck on Monday.
- Trikki2MemberOh wow really @Afraser. How interesting. Im thinking seroma. Scary after you find lumps and then you discover another though xxxx
Trikki2 - AfraserMemberI discovered a hard, round lump near my mastectomy scar. Off to get it checked. I already had a seroma. Surgeon decided to ultrascan. "It's a seroma" said the operator. Yep, we know there is one but what's the lump? "It's a seroma", she said patiently. "It's a seroma within a seroma."
Gahhh! Babushka seromas! But harmless, hope yours is too. - Trikki2Member@Zoffiel i had those twice and it is near where they were drained. Who knows. Anyway all shall be revealed Monday xxxx
- Trikki2MemberThanks @Mira, thanks now im calm and thinking rational and spoken to the nurse your right. My boobs are still sore. Dying to lye on my side but i cant xxxx
Trikki2 - MiraMemberHey Trikki, I have all sorts of lumps from where I had the surgery. It freaked me at first but then I was told its just scar tissue. Don't be surprised if you get mysterious pains for a while yet, it takes a while for your body to heal. I still get the occasional sensation in my breast 3 years on. I have my fingers crossed that you are just feeling scar tissue as well :smile:
- ZoffielMemberCould be a seroma, which are fluid collections and really common. Certainly needs checking out but the time frame fits for something that is important but not that sinister. Mxx
