My3Ksmom

I so empathize with you! I just got my first drain out and have now been diagnosed with a huge seroma on that side. So the nurse gave me a compression wrap and said it should go down slowly, otherwise the dr. would aspirate. But she told me that my dr. is the last to want to do so. Ugh. But I have nothing to complain about after hearing your problems. Soooo sorry. It scares me that I'll end up there too tho, just because I'm not thrilled with my care with Kaiser. I pray for your healing! Hugs!

Thanks, well, so far, yes, te's were done when I had the double masectomy. Then another surgery to take those out and put in the implants, now those are posing a problem and I go back to see if I have to have those removed or do another procedure! Uggg! This reconstruction is longer than the original cancer!

Hi My3Ksmom,

Thanks for your advice about vitamins, I hadn't thought about that one. I have and appt. with both my endo and my onc. just after the new year so I will see if there is some that I can safely take. I am on tons of meds for other life threatening diseases in addition to the cancer so its kinda tricky at times as to what I can and can't safely take lol. Thank you for your post and I wish you and your family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
