Hi Heather,
Glad to hear you are recovering.I had to go twice a week for 5 weeks to have fluid drained.I'd roll over in bed and here it sloshing like a water bottle! I still have tightness across my chest(op .10mths ago) like there is duck tape there.My doc.says I have adhesions now.Your arm will take awhile to settle down- do you do a gentle lymph massage?For a few months after,I had the sensation that I had a football under my arm.You will always be numb under the armpit but you get used to it.
Well you are certainly having the full works aren't you.I've had bc twice and got to experience all those treaments.The chemo and being bald was by far the hardest for me -physically and psychologically.But don't get me started on the hair thing -my blogs are full of whinging!
Hope the fluid settles down soon for you.
