Drainage tube after lymph node removal
Hi hope someone can give me some advice on this. I had the. Lymph nodes under my left arm and across the top of my left breast removed last Monday 3.4.17.
I still have the drain in and it's still fill...
I went home with one drain tube the day after my lympnodes removal and lympectomy and then got it removed 5 days after in a clinic.
Ive recently undergone a double mastectomy with reconstruction and stayed in hospital for 5 days and then went home with 2 drains. It was removed after a few days. I did have a nurse visit everyday before it was removed.
They are annoying to have and carry around and like others have said, i have tucked it in a carry bag.
Good luck with everything! You will feel so much better once its removed
