I had my mastectomy on 24th November and had a seroma drained after about 2 weeks. My question is :- Did any body else have the appearance when looking at the operated area that they still look as if they have a boob?
Underneath scar area has the shape of a boob. To touch originally it was a bit like a seroma but now it feels hard to the touch and I have started to worry that the surgeon has left some breast tissue there. It is quite sore at times even to have clothing touch it. If it is just a fluid build up after surgery surely it would have started to reduce by now?? I know I should ring BCNs to put my mind at rest but I don’t like pestering them or making myself look silly if its normal surgery swelling. What with worrying about what the oncologist will say about treatments when I get my oncology appointment and the thought of tissue left after mastectomy, I’m driving myself crazy worrying about it. Please help.
