Recovery from Major Duct excision

I have had bilateral macroductectomy back in 2010 because of breast discharge. Results were benign but the discharge did not stop on the right.

I have just had a major duct excision today as they were concerned about discharge again. Feeling a bit sore but ok I am just waiting for results now.
Something that has upset me today which sounds really silly is I can see the breast is already beginning to collapse inwards. Has anyone else experienced this and is there anything that can be done about it?

I think I'm just over emotional after the whole things but this really early sign of my breast collapsing has really bought me down.

Any help or advice would be so much appreciated

Hello Sandra1408 and welcome to Cancer Chat!
I am sorry to hear about the upset this has caused you. I hope that you will hear from other ladies here who have also experienced this feeling that the breast is beginning to collapse inwards and that they will have some good suggestions for you based on what they went through themselves.
Perhaps this is something you should talk to your medical team about especially as it seems to be playing a lot on your mind. Feel free also to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk to them about it - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope that you find out more about this and that you feel better and reassured soon.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
