Posted by kittey on 11/22/2002 from 24.191.178.117:
I had left breast biopsy done yesterday and last night, I has swollen around my whole left breast, and even spread into the center of my chest. Besides that, only a tiny pain in this area and it didn't go to purple. I am wondering if it is normal? Do I have to take some medicine to prevent the possible infection? And any special ways to treat it or just leave it alone? I asked the doctor but only get the reply from nurse, she said it is normal. Could I get a second oppinion? Thanks!
