Thank you Drbabs, I read your commments and read more widely about seromas - the positive and negatives of having them aspirated and decided ultimately to take more time to see if they resolved of their own accord. The seroma is frustrating as I was exercising 1-1.5 hours most days prior to its development - primarily a vigorous form of yoga called Vinyasa and acquarobics - the former requires a lot of mat action laying face down with pressure on the boobs and the latter involves a lot of leaping about in the water, which also has maximum jiggle factor. These were the precise actions causing me most pain with the seroma. Everyone says to keep exercising and work on your Body Mass Index post BC in order to reduce recurrence plus plain old keeping fit, so the seroma has interfered greatly with all of this. I do feel though that it has reduced in size and pain levels the past few weeks so finger crossed that it is being reabsorbed naturally as part of the healing process. Thank you for sharing your views with me - I found it helpful.

Hi its Christine... i have been off for awhile on this site but still scared after 2 years.. i just had an mri and they said no changes in my left breast which has the lcis and adh but some changes in my right breast but that turned out ok just cysts to come back in 6 months for another mri.. i also just had my mammo and they find a new patch of califiacations in my left breast... now i am scared because this is how it all started for me two years.... just wondering if you still montior or did you have surgery... any advice would be appreciated... it is so hard living with lcis.. i am really thinking about having a biopsy and if there is a change i will be doing surgery... you can private message me if you want.. i would love to chat with you... thanks again chris..

So little is known about cancer and less is known about AHL/LCIS.
Hold your breath 10 mins and findings and recommendations change.
I chose a PBLM because so very little is known. If the condition is serious or "worse" enough to warrant frequent monitoring and medication, that's enough drama for me.
If one's comfort level is frequent monitoring, well go for it! You may have gambled on the right side. I hope with all my heart you have.
I worked as a cancer nurse and knew all along what many people who become diagnosed with breast pre cancer or invasive cancer become all to familiar: the art and science of medical care changes. Test can be wrong. The drs who interpret various test sometimes get it wrong. But we go with what we have by way of our own education and trusting who we think is best in providing our care.
Taking a watch and wait chance of a neoplasia, in situ tumor, lesion or what ever the term of the day is, and testing, testing, (fallible) testing is not my cup of tea.
Remember, each biopsy generates scar tissue, obscuring remaining breast tissue. My surgeon told me what I already knew; the breast evaluation becomes more difficult.
