How are you doing on the Bentonite Clay? Gotta rest, more later.

Let me know how you are doing?

Jussta thank you for thinking of me

I'm not being on track taking as I should.

I still go into a coma like sleep

I spend most of my life sleeping !!!

I'm worried about the seroma in my left breast

Day and night I securely keep both breasts strapped in

as it hurts and is uncomfortable doing certain activities.

I wonder if its also because of damaged tissue.

I'm working on getting an ultra sound test and to

find a docter who does proper seroma removal.

The cancer center said they do not remove seromas

My question is, who else does ????

I don't want the seroma drained, I prefer removal

and don't want to be badly scarred from this surgery

I'm at a loss because financially

I cannot afford to travel out to Dr. Kolb again.

What are the symptoms of an infected seroma ???

Dede might of said, but I forget.

I'm still trying to stay positive my health will improve,

Hi Sandy,Dede would be able to tell you more what type of surgeon is appropriate. I'm not sure as it works differently in Canada then the US.I've had 4 seromas and 2 hematomas. Hematomas can be really dangerous ones. Here's the difference between the two. I copied it from Wikipedia:A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery. When small blood vessels are ruptured, blood plasma can seep out; inflammation caused by dying injured cells also contributes to the fluid.

Seromas are different from hematomas which contain red blood cells and from abscesses which contain pus and result from an infection.

Seromas can sometimes be caused by a new type of partial-breast

radiation therapy, as explained in a recent article in the

International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics.

Seromas can also sometimes be caused by injury such as when the

initial swelling from a blow or fall does not fully subside. The

remaining serous fluid

causes a seroma that the body usually gradually absorbs over time

(often taking many weeks); however, a knot of calcified tissue

sometimes remains.

Seroma is particularly common after mastectomy surgery for breast

cancer and many women find that it makes their initial recovery period

more difficult. Some women need repeated visits to their doctor to have

the seroma fluid drained.I know you're scared Sandy. And that's okay. I've been scared since even before I was implanted 20 years ago. Thank God the damn things are out.I'm sending you prayers, hugs and hope. It seems the key to all this implant illness is persistence and patience. Hang in there!Love Traci"Feeling down?
