Post Re-Excision Seroma

Hello @xpataus - happy belated birthday :)
Sorry for the circumstances you are here but Welcome back to Port Maquarie.
Having only been here a few weeks I'm still finding my around Port Mac but have been very impressed with the health services so far. The staff at the hospital were very supportive & helpful - the night nurses even left a birthday card for me to wake up on my birthday.
We have the same Oncologist :)
Had my first appointment with Dr Begbie today & as expected due to my age (46yr), medical history (bilateral breast cancer) & lack of medical history on my biological fathers side he's referred me for genetic testing We also had the Tamoxifen talk again (it was offered after my 1st diagnosis in 2015 but I decided against it then).
The antibiotics seem to have cleared up my post surgery infection, swelling has gone down & no more leaking fluid!
Sounds like you've still got quite a journey ahead with chemo & radiation.
Hope all went well with your GP appointment.
