Had surgery around two years ago and had seroma at mastectomy site. But seems to have migrated towards under the arm/ side chest area.
i thought it’s seroma but googling it made me really worried as as said it could be cancer. Anyone have any expirrices?
i had 6 nodes removed
Hello Daisy
I am sorry that you are worrying about the swelling under your arm/side chest area.
Even if it does turn out to be a seroma I think that the best course of action is to contact your GP or breast clinic and get it checked out. Hopefully then they maybe able to put your mind at rest.

Hi
In my experience the BCN is the best option. However if you have a very proactive GP than by all means go to your GP. Mine always defers to the hospital option for further advice. What ever you need someone with Knowledge to get it checked out.
I hope that helps.
