I am in my 4th month of bilateral Mastectomy, My problem is I have had fluid build up in my Breasts. I have them drain 4 times and the pumps inserted 3 times any one out there having fluid build up. I had to stop taking Radiation 3 times because of it. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me.

    Wishing you good luck and hoping you get some answers,

    Hi Debbie

    I had a lot of problems with fluid. I had three large seromas that had to be drained by a Radiologist using Ultra Sound to guide him and I had the drains with the little suction bags put back in twice. Some of us are just prone to this problem. That was almost six years ago and everything has been okay since then.

    I don't know if there is anything you can do, but keep on moving forward. Just wanted to share my story that it all worked out eventually.

    All my best.

    this post. I am hoping that if you can keep this fluid thing under control now it will lead to less problems later. No input from me but perhaps bumping this up will get you more answers.
