Maybe I did not make myself clear in the earlier post. The lump on my breast never had an open wound, sorry for any misunderstanding. It was draining/seeping from the surgical site that had not yet healed completely. I have had 3 mamograms and 1 sonogram done when this all happened and showed no signs of cancer. I have had a rheumatological work up done, it came back ok. I was being treated for carpal tunnel before the breast lump appeared.
