Hi, I’d a mastectomy followed by immediate diep in Nov 2022, I then had a local recurrance which was removed in April 2024, this was followed by radiotherapy which I completed in July of this year. I’ve had a sore breast (diep side) since, my bcn says this is normal, due to radiotherapy.
I’ve noticed recently there’s like a liquid swelling just above the scar to remove my second cancer, and was planning on phoning bcn about it on Monday, but i’ve now noticed quite a large liquid swelling immediately below my reconstructed breast that I hadn’t noticed before, it’s running from immediately below my reconstruction to base of my ribs, so about 2-3inches.
I know it’s not normal, but would you have any idea what it could be? Could it be seroma given how long agi i’d surgery?
Dear Dkeeg,
So sorry to read you are feeling uncomfortable at the moment, I think if this was me I would get in contact with my Breast Cancer Team I think you should checked for peace of mind.
Fingers crossed, for a good outcome.
