Anyone been told reabsorption happens over a few weeks? Does it? 

  • I had a hematoma which caused some pain.  Mine reabsorbed after about 2months,  I think I still have some left with bruising  but the pain went after about 2 months and I started to feel like my boob belonged to me again.

    Thank you so much for such a quick response. Good to know my boob will eventually feel like mine. :) 

  • Hi  , I also had a large haematoma after my lumpectomy, it looked scary but it did re absorb over time. I can’t remember how long it took but it did resolve. I had quite the rainbow boob with the blue dye, haematoma and general bruising! I think it was sorted by the time I started radiotherapy, 10 weeks after my op, but may have been sooner than that. It did seem to take ages! What’s next for you re treatment? Love and hugs, HFxx

    Thank you Happy feet :)  I've got a radiotherapy planning appointment in January. Thankfully 2nd op has got it all. So moving forward.  Funny about the tears they appear suddenly from nowhere sometimes and do cleanse. Xx
