Hi, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and have already had a Lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed from under arm one week ago.  My wound under arm has an area at the end that does not appear to have closed properly.. it has also been leaking a very pale pink fluid. It is not obmverly painful or red and I do not feel ill.  I put a dry sterile dressing on it yesterday but overstretched my arm last night, felt a pop and had a quick flow of the same colour discharge from it, soaking the dressing and a small area of the top I was wearing. Is this normal?
