Hi, gone from symptoms of mastitis starting 12th March, to a mastectomy 23 days ago. Initially told no specific type breast cancer stage and grade 1 on 22 April to its more than 1 site in the same breast.
still have a drain in, just wanting to see if others are experiencing What I’ve been experiencing the last few weeks. I’ll leave messages for the breast care team to call me back at most I’ll call them twice a day and that is maximum two currently once a day with a drain level reading. But I don’t get callbacks that day the next or the next week.
I left a message yesterday at midday saying that my drain site needed a dressing change as unfortunately it has got wet in the shower. 2 pm no reply according to collect replacement wound drains, so I called again and advised there were no nurses in and no one available to talk to me or to change my dressing.
Are other experiencing problems with call backs and getting dressings changed? Or is it just me
I'm so sorry, that you haven't been getting the care and attention you need, for your physical and psychological needs. I hope all the above replies, will help you and your wound is dressed daily, and the company and care from the nurse helps to boost your self confidence.
Would you mind ecpalining you symptom because having mastitis and then a mastectomy, is a big jump! I had lobular an er in my right breast o er 10 years ago. My left nipple became really sore 
few weeks ago and secretion, white, greeny, and cleared uo in 24 hrs with antibiotics. Obviously this is not normal at 61, and a rather long medical history! ! Have been referred to the 'emergency breast' clinic, on the 28th July, - no its taken a few weeks but as everyone knows long waiting list everywhere!Yesterday, suddenly realised my nipple was leaking again, this time serous clear liquid though not much. Yep I'm increasingly worried!
Wishing you all the very best, and don't worry if you don't wish to reply. Take care x Jo
