drainage

Hi been a week since my op and I'm still losing up to 130mls of fluid from my lymph nodes as had a axillery dissertion and a partial mascetomy got an appointment with my surgeon on the 31st may for results... 

How did you all handle your drainage and how long did you have it in 

  • Hi Donna,

    It's Lisa from the Policy Team. It is great that you posted on the Online Network as it can be a good place to get support. We would advise that you see your GP. It may also be helpful to give your breast care nurse a ring. Perhaps in the meantime, you might like to call the Cancer Council 13 11 20 Information and Support Line, as one of the cancer nurses may be able to give you some practical advice as well.

    Best regards,
    Lisa
