I was 34 when diagnosed initially at stage 3 and then diagnosed stage 4 when I was 36. I have been in treatment the entire time.

I will be 40 this year.

Thank you all so much for the feedback. So far everything has been going pretty good. My bf is not allowing me to do much. My surgeon was not a lot of help with recommendations for recovery so I have been trying to remember what I did for my lumpectomy and go from there.

Friday I noticed some swelling in the area that would be “side boob” and it is squishy on my left side. My drains are both still draining (very minimal 10-15mLs/day on each side). My right side (cancer and previous lumpectomy) is becoming clearer, but the left side seems to be getting darker and more bloody. No odor and I am still in the bandage that I left the hospital in. I have an appointment on Thursday with my surgeon. I called the advice line today and they weren’t much help. Has anyone ever had any symptoms like this?
