Chelee,

Are you being rambunctious? LOL- I got my drains pulled after MRM and node dissection and I ended up with a huge hematoma. Doc said I must not have been behaving. He was right.

Darned if you do and darned if you don't. But I would think that at 6 weeks- normal healing is just not happening! At some point, the drain itself becomes a risk for infection. They might need to go back in there and clean everything up- there maybe a clot or large vessel leaking. Boy, you seem to have quite a crackpot of docs working on you!
