Hi, had lumpectomy and 6 sentinel nodes removed this afternoon, had the clexane injection 7pm (blood thinner) and taking parecetemol and ibuprofen however have just realised I have haematoma rather than normal swelling and read ibuprofen also blood thinner so could make haematoma worse is this true does anyone know?
Contacted my cousin who is nurse, tbh I now think I read the aftercare booklet and diagnosed myself, so it might just be normal swelling I will contact BCN in morning x
