I too have the same problem -
First surgery Dec 2011 abscess removed and drainage tube left in tact and home nurse cleaned each day. Tube removed all seemed good till.
May 2012 abcess back again this time did asperation -
June 2012 tried asperation but abscess refilled after a day, back again surgery after a week in hospital on a drip, wound left open and nurse pack this each day.
Aug 2012 just when i thought all was good, another abscess developed back in for surgery. Abscess drained and now I have developed a fitsula and that now needs surgery. Been on antibiotics for several months. I have had every blood test, swab test etc. It is so hard to believe I cannot get better when I am so active and healthy. I normally dont even get a cold. I am in my mid forties. I would love to know if anyone else has been through this and if they are now better and what I should expect?. I have asked to have the breast removed but I believe this cannot be done whilst the infection is still there.

I hope this helps someone!! My surgeons are fantastic as all the medical staff that have helped me.
