Since I’ve had surgery about a week or so after it I have been leaking seroma from a greyish purple looking ulcer thingy on my breast  I had a mascartory with implant reconstruction 

I’ve been to A&E I’m currently in walk

in centre on the advice from 111 as the cancer nurse are off weekends 

it doesn’t seem to be going away but I just get sent home with gauze to just protect it ,  I’m due my chemo in two weeks and will be delayed if it doesn’t heal up ,

im fed up and so sick and tired of it of the same thing over and over reoccurring and not going away , 

just wondering if any one else has had this ? 

  • Hi  

    I haven’t had this experience - I had a lumpectomy which healed easily. I wonder if you would find more people with the same experience if you were to post this on the Breast cancer forum ?

    i hope it heals soon.
