HI Caoimhe,
A very warm welcome to our forum.
I certainly wouldn't advise you to take any water tablets without discussing this with your care team first. I had a double mastectomy 11 years ago and had a series of seroma after it. I had my breast drained of fluid on a few occasions before it settled, but I didn't have any fluid in the area for more than a month before it dispersed.
Why don't you phone your breast care nurse and ask for her advice? Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
Kind regards,
Jolamine xx
