Hi JLD,

I had a right side mastectomy on Tuesday, so you and I are at similar stages. I’m really pleased your sentinel node was clear- I wasn’t given any information about mine, so will find out at my next appointment. 

I have dissolvable stitches covered with a thin clear dressing. I had a drain but it was removed today, which has left me feeling more comfortable. I’m not sleeping well, but I’m sure that will improve in time.

I hope you are feeling ok today. I’m feeling pretty good, but very tired now as I went out for a walk.

Take care xx

Hi there 

how are you doing I am two weeks post mastectomy tomorrow and up and down to be honest. I have a seroma along the glued line that is sore and a bit uncomfortable it starts off ok in the morning but gets bigger by the evening. I hope you are feeling good now. My follow up appointment I’d Friday and just waiting for the HERS2 results to then give me a plan of action.

All I know  at the moment is that I will be taking meds for 5/10 years but not a treatment plan.sleeping is again up and down I don’t normally sleep on my back so it’s not naturally comfortable.

Are you taking pain relief I’m on paracetamol and ibuprofen.

not sure if the seroma will need draining as I had no drains .

take care xx  JLD
