Treatment options for recurrence
Hi all,
I am interested in hearing from anyone who may have similar experience to mine. Also anyone who has had a recurrence and anyone who has experience a seroma and to hear what treatment they ...

I am 38, have had a double mastectomy 10 weeks ago, no reconstruction. No plans for recon because I am "not suitable" because of other chronic medical conditions. I am quite happy with the way I am, I do not miss my boobs, I do not need them and they just got in the way anyway :)
Also, I have a seroma. So far I have had it drained twice. I was scared it would hurt to have it drained but it hasn't. The last time I even helped by squeezing and pushing the area around the seroma. LOL. They do feel better after they are drained - but so far mine just re-fills within a week. Current plan is just to leave it and see what it does o its own - see if my body can re-absorb it itself. If it does start to bother me in anyway though, pain or any other way I can call them and they will drain it for me. I also have a binder I wear to put extra pressure on the area. It is very tight and uncomfortable, but I find I gt more uncomfortable not wearing it.
Good luck with your surgery and and other stuff, no matter what you choose. You need to choose what YOU feel is right for YOU. No-one else, YOU! XOXO
