Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I am seeing my surgeon this morning If I have fluid in my left breast where my seroma was surgically removed I'm just thinking about this... I no longer have chemical breath I know my surgeon cleaned the area out well But ... if there is any fluid build up Would it be ok to drain it with a needle ? I wonder if my surgeon could order another MRI Just to make sure there's no fluid in there I don't want to be re-cut a third time !!! Do you think my insurance will pay for another MRI ?? My surgeon was more interested before in an MRI verses an ultra sound test Without an MRI test I wont know if there's fluid in there Is there anything I should tell my surgeon ??? I know he will say, make an appt with my doctor Sandy~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
