Afternoon everyone
Im post surgery 3 weeks and had 5cm by 5cm removed from left breast along with 3 lymph nodes.
Scars are healing well but im in constant pain (like sunburn) on the top part & under part of my arm and was wondering if there is any creams or lotions that can help as dont want to keep taking pain killers.
Also i have a Seroma in the breast that has been drained but came back overnight, again anyone have any advice on how to reduce it naturally.
Many thanks x
Hi Mightyduck12
I am sorry your breast is painful following surgery and that you have a seroma. I am one of the community champions and I noticed you hadn’t had a response to your post. I am not sure what to advise other than contacting your BCN. In responding I have bounced your post back to the top of the page so I hope someone else can add some input.
