There will frequently be a build up fluid and inflammation after a lumpectomy. This will make that area, bigger and more tender for a while, but inflammation is a bodies normal response to injury. This is one of the bodies ways to aid in healing.
How many days since your lumpectomy?

The mastectomy on November 3rd. But I will meet a second doctor at Sloan Kettering. If I feel more connected with her, then I will go with her.

The first surgeon proposed both lumpectomy and mastectomy. I have two tumors in my breast.
