A hematoma — bleeding under the skin that looks like a bruise — can happen after a lumpectomy. It's not unheard of, even around the two-week mark as your body is still healing.

@A MyBCTeam Member......Thank you. It's been an interesting and action packed journey for sure. My goal is to share whatever relates to my varied experiences in an open and honest way and pay it forward. I wish I knew about a lot of the things I've posted before I experienced them in real time. It would have saved me a lot of stress and anxiety and I could have avoided some of the mistakes that were made by both my doctors and myself.
I read a lot of your posts as well and you are always sharing helpful tips and knowledge and helping others, including myself ❤️💐

@A MyBCTeam Member.....That was before I had a cardiologist. I was put on the Eliquis when I got a clot in my neck where the tube for my port is located and another one in my lung. It happened a few weeks after I had finished chemo the 1st time. Before the surgery I was advised by the reconstructive surgeon it was standard procedure and my primary care doctor, who prescribes my Eliquis, wrote me the RX for the injectable. He also agreed with me for the 2nd and 3rd surgeries that I was better off not taking the injectable and just going off the Eliquis for the 72 hour period.

In retrospect, your cardiologist should have made the call on switching to a non Eliquis injectibkyor at least conconsulted on that as the surgeon was out of his field on that call.
