Drainage am I going crazy?
Hi all i had a mastectomy on right breast and auxiliary clearance three weeks ago Wednesday. First drain out no issues. Second drain removed earlier than should have been as it was sitting on a nerve...
I am so sorry - I can feel your frustration and how uncomfortable and worried you are. I didn’t have any drainage problems but I know lots of ladies do - my aunt was having to have fluid build - up drained for 6 weeks after surgery. It does settle eventually but the risk is infection not to mention doing your head in. Have you been in touch with your breast care nurse? They can usually get the ball rolling to sort things out or give advice on what you can do. I hope you get some relief and answers tomorrow.
