Hi Elbowsf867ea and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I've had treatment for breast cancer I didn't have a seroma.
The online community is divided into different support groups sand I can see that you've already found and joined the breast cancer group which is a great place to connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you and who have had a seroma.
When you feel ready, you can start a new post in the breast cancer group in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
