Painful swelling after mastectomy

I have had a mastectomy last week and was surprisingly well considering I was covid-19 positive advised after operation. However now a week on no symptoms of coronavirus but swelling and uncomfortable I believe due to a seroma. Need to get this drained but concerned as Easter. Not sure to wait till Tuesday. Has anyone had the same and can advise? 

  • Hi there ...

    I had to have mine drained twice ... once by nurse at Drs surgery and once by oncology nurse .. mine swelled up and started leaking, and was looking quite bluish ... 

    If yours feels like it's getting hot, or colour change , deff needs seeing to .. if I were you I'd call 111 if it's just swollen, or if hot and inflamed , call A and E for their advice .. but you need to find out from them .. 

    I know sometimes they leave it, and sometimes needs draining ..but give them a call ...
