Hello Cathy Truman. I did have a seroma and it was drained in my doctor's office. It was only some swelling, redness, a little blood and nothing else. It healed about 2 weeks later. Do not wear anything tight around the area. Exercise your arms, hands by squeezing a small ball. Eating proteins is good all the time. Drink plenty of water. Ice packs definitely helps and allowing the area to get some air. As it begins to heal you can go to doctor once a week instead of everyday. Hope this helps you.
I'm sorry you are having to deal with this- but it should be (although annoying, and uncomfortable) a temporary situation. Eggs are great protein, and you can easily add protein powders to a lot of things. Keeping you in prayers that the antibiotics get busy taking care of the infection so your healing can get back on track!
First, the great news — they got the cancer, and your lymph nodes were clear! That is a really positive outcome worth holding onto during this exhausting recovery.
What you're going through is genuinely tough, and you are absolutely not alone. Seromas are one of the most common complications after breast cancer surgery Show Full Answer
Hi Cathy 👋😊 how have things been? So sorry you got this infection to deal with on top of everything else. But thank God they got the cancer and your lymph nodes were clear. I too got a seroma on the left side where I had multiple tumors. No blood just needed to be drained every week. Take care honey. Eat and drink your protein and maybe an iron pill 🥰 you got this.
