Hi all, 

nit sure if I should call the breast care team or if it’s normal. It’s been exactly a week since my bilateral mastectomy and today the pain is worse than ever! I can hear a lot of fluid I have like thumping pain sometimes in the left and feel as if I’ve been hit by a truck I mean is this normal a week later or not x any advise would be great x 

  • Hello,

    so sorry you’re having problems, if it were me I’d definitely call in. It may just be the swelling post-op but with pain too you’d feel more at ease if you were seen if possible.

    i do remember my surgeon saying ‘it’s sloshing around nicely’ at one point post op.....

    My advice would be to phone 

    Hugs xxx
