It is three weeks out and i have about 50cc of fluid in the left breast (the first drain the ps took out 300 cc) and (the second drain took out about 150cc).

Is this normal?  Is there anything I can do do get rid of the fluid? 

Also, the PS did not mention anything about massaging or rubbing the area?  Why would u do this?  Should I?

U should ask ur ps dude, we are all just victims of gyne like urself so cannot really comment on fluid build up at 3rd week, my 3 week post op coming up in 4 days and i believe now i just have lots of hard tissue/scar underneath and cannot tell if i have any fluid build up myself. PS would be best bet to have a look. Got any pictures however ? All i see around my chest is yellowish skin i believe is scar what color you think is you skin ?

clearly the ps is the one to speak with; I am going on Monday. 

I was curious about massaging and fluid of others.

I posted a few pics last week.

10 days after surgery, no fluid coming out. My doc said to keep the drains on till fluid becomes <10 ml on each side which was 4 days for me. I think you should surely see the doc. He may put drains or put bandages on.
