Flying with a seroma

Hi peeps

I have a seroma on my chest wall, following mastectomy with flat closure just over 12 months ago. The seroma has been drained multiple times but keeps coming back - the saga continues... 

I'll be going on a flight (for a holiday - yay!) on Saturday, and it's just occurred to me that I might have some additional pain or discomfort with the seroma due to the cabin pressure. Does anyone have experience with this?

Many thanks

Bec

    I haven’t had the flying experience with my seroma it will be interesting if anyone else can shed some light on the subject as well as I am intending to  do a short flight in June. 
    i don't get mine drained Ive had a biopsy on it and some scar tissue removed which relieved it. It is now been 9 years with it it just gets looked at at each ct scan and the ultrasound on the rare occasion I have one.
