Hi All,

Yet another newbie here! I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in September and since then I've had a lumpectomy (22mm) and 1 lymph node removed on 10th Sept, which showed another small lump (5mm) in the node! Then on 1st Oct I had the rest of the nodes removed on that side. I'm waiting on the follow up results for that surgery on Friday 17th Oct. Since the second surgery I've had an eruption of lymph fluid twice now from the lymph surgical scar and been put on Penicillin now for a week. Thankfully I was at home with both eruptions (unlike my sister, who some years ago, had the same at the checkout in Tesco's).

At present I'm wearing a kind of toga made from half of a bed wetting pad (that's another story!) and keeping away from the sofa as it's dripping like a busted fridge! Has anyone else gone thru the same thing recently? .... and do you know if the Docs are more likely to put a drip bag in place on Friday rather than proceed with a care plan?

Thanks in advance

Dee
