Ick Warning!
I've included a photograph!
It's my birthday today, 42!
I've been spoilt, which is lovely, lots of cards and nice little goodies fill the kitchen table. Mum and Dad are coming up soon for a bit of breakfast and coffee. I am incredibly fortunate. I am.
At the appointment on Wednesday the nurse mentioned that I might have a bit of fluid gathering (for a party?) under my arm. I have to admit to it still feeling weird there. Scars are healing nicely, even the consultant exclaimed in delight 'oh that looks lovely' and my amended boob!
But, I'm incredibly uncomfortable under my arm, and look what's there!
This is a seroma.
I've read about them, I even googled images of them to double check I wasn't imagining it! They're harmless apparently and the body should reabsorb the excess fluid over time. But then sometimes it doesn't....and I have visions of it getting bigger and bigger and being unable to do anything because I'll have a football under my arm!
I'm going to keep well away from Suzy, who looked delighted at the prospect of having to have it drained.... or popped as she put it! Freak!
I'm back on Wednesday to see the Oncologist and I'll see if the nurse can look at it then......if I can last that long!
So tonight, I will be sipping prosecco, eating tiramisu and feeling contented by the fire, with my boys........and my little swelling will join me! Wonder if when it does get drained they find G&T in there!!!
