Hello all!

I hope you are keeping well.

I wanted to know, for those who have had the same procedure, how was the pain after 3 weeks?

Until last week end I was ok but sincr yesterday I feel a lot of discomfort.

I will call the hospital tomorrow.

It might be normal to feel like that Thinking

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Take care

    Hiya i was ok with my first lumpectomy but after the second i had a bit of discomfort.

    Is it swollen or anything?? I started with a seroma under my arm, which is when fluid fills in the area you have had removed. If you ring your breast care nurse they will advise you whats best. If it is a seroma they like to leave it to absorb back into your system but if it becomes too painful you can have it drained.

  • Hello TheSciptFan,

    Thank you for your response.

    I feel a bit better today I slept for the first time since the operation without a bra.

    Maybe the bra's pressure it is not good. I might have a day without today.

    How do you feel now? 

    Take care.
