I had a serious fall when I was in the hospital after my surgery. My right breast swelled to 4 times the size, I couldnt hang my arm down, and I had opened all the stitiches inside and out when I hit the toilet on my way down to the floor. Then, because of covid, I could not get a second surgery. This caused a long delay in my radiation and healing, causing a fluid pocket to form on the inside of my breast. It is see-through on mammograms, and 2 years later, I still have a large bump on my right breast, but other than that, I am fine. Both the surgeon and my Dr figured my body would absorb the fluids, but I believe it healed and hardened because of the radiation. I am losing weight right now as part of my breast cancer treatment, and after 52 pounds, it is quite prominent. But i will learn to live with it. It doesnt hurt, and doesnt change size....... I am 3 years cancer free at end of November. Bilateral surgery.
