@jeaniem, what did the surgeon tell you about the discharge you were experiencing? Did they have any suggestions for upcoming surgery?

Surgeon felt that the bloody discharge is most likely due to the hematoma. I had the hologic tag placed and will have the excisional biopsy tomorrow. Also she said that ironically the surgical bleeding will be easier to control than when I had the core biopsy. 12 core samples with 9 guage needle and vacuuum assist was very traumatic to the retroareolar area. Also I will be given a bra at the surgery that I am to wear 24/7 for a week.
