Hi
I had a wle and node clearance with some reconstruction on the 22nd March less than a week later I got a build up of fluid and an infection.
The infection cleared but by 4 days later had reoccured.
I then went on to have a mastectomy on 14th April as lump was larger than scan showed and a grade 3 with no clear margins.
After having the mastectomy I have had to have wound drained 2 to 3 times a week and have also had the infection reoccur twice.
The fluid is going less each time with only 300mls being drained on tuesday and can manage until monday before I go back to have it done again.
I am due to start chemo on thurs but wondering will I be ok to start if infection keeps reoccurring.
BCN has said that I should be ok but I am worried that it will reoccur when I’m most at risk of infection.
Has anyone else had anything like this, does it depend which area you live as to whether they go ahead with chemo?
I’m from Lancashire.
Would be grateful for any advice
