Had 4 cortisone shots in neck & shoulder 7 monthS after mastectomy because of arm & shoulder pain. Had severe chest pains for days and got an infection in my breast. Due to injection or coincidental?

Three months is quite a long time to be draining continuously. Has your doctor checked for hidden infections? Has the fluid been adequately evacuated or is there always fluid sloshing around? Until the tissue surfaces can adhere to one another, they will keep leaking and re-filling the seroma...
You are right! Your menstrural cycle should not have any effect on MRI results following a bilateral mastectomy. Just have the test whenever it is convenient for your schedule.
