Feeling rubbish.
had lumpectomy 10th June…. No issues post surgery
needed re-excision and lymph node biopsy done on 8th July.
pain over weekend been quite a lot…. Ended up at out of hours GP on Saturday and started on clarithromycin… I4 tabs so far had 4.
However increased swelling and woke up this morning to top soaked with clear fluid and tinge red…. Felt but easier after this…. Phoned breast nurse first thing and she advised practice nurse to look and condensing etc…. So have appt this afternoon but have also had another leak whilst sitting here…. Like a gush!!
not smelly or any pus, I have a normal temperature and feel ok just a bit stressed by this and now worried this interferes with ongoing treatment.
anyone had similar symptoms? Thanks for reading.
Hi Jools161
I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I had the same problem after my second operation to remove lymph nodes. I ended up in hospital because I had an infection as well. My breast care nurse used a Pico dressing which for the first few days needed changing every day until eventually after just over a week I stopped leaking.
Hopefully yours will clear up soon.
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever further treatment you may need.
Best wishes
