Hi I had a local wide excision and lymph node strip on Tuesday. I have a drain in my arm pit. The amount of fluid coming out has almost stopped. Should I continue vacuum and measuring till my appointment on tuesday? It really tickled and I felt a sucking sensation yesterday when I did it. 150 first day, 120 second, 80, then 40 yesterday.

Question two is there an unscented 50% deet insect spray? I put some sainsburys own on yesterday as I wanted some fresh air and listen to the birds. But it triggered a migraine in my poor mum. She's sensitive to perfume and chemicals like bleach.

Any thoughts much appreciated x claire
