Should I worry about fluid in my breast after drainage?

Hi Ladies, I saw the nurse practitioner today. I have IDC stage one PR+ ER+ and HER2- stage 2. I'm not sure of grade yet as the Dr is waiting for oncotype. She examined my breasts but I was uncomfortable at first but I let her. I told her I had went to the ER and the Dr there think I have infection on my left breast and I was taking Amoxicillin. She noticed my left breast had fluid. She drew out 98cc of fluid and told me to stop taking antibiotics. I must wear a bra days and nights for 2 weeks. I have to make an appointments with medical and radiation oncologists. I hope I don't have to do radiation and get an appointments soon while I'm still at my sister's house. I hope you ladies have a good day.

Fluid drainage after procedures is something many patients experience, and it's encouraging that your nurse practitioner was able to address it promptly by removing the fluid and providing clear follow-up instructions. Following the guidance about wearing a bra continuously and connecting with your oncology team will help ensure proper healing and next steps in your care. Wishing you smooth appointments and hoping other community members can share their experiences with similar situations.
