Hi everyone

Is there anyone suffering from or had a wound that will not heal. The wound where my lymph nodes were removed from, has 95% healed, but a small section, the size of my baby nail refuses to heal. No infection, have had a seroma there, which has been drained many times, but not for the last 4 weeks. The wound was building up granules, but by using silver nitrate, this has stpped.

I am now 14 weeks after surgery and beginning to panic, I can't have chemo because of my heart, and radiotherapy has been put on hold until this heals.

Is it not healing because the cancer has mets to my liver, seeing liver surgeon on Friday xx

Hi Irene,

I'm really sorry to hear you're feeling worried, it sounds like you have a lot of questions that you're struggling to find answers for.

I'm glad you'll be seeing the surgeon on Friday, but if you're feeling anxious and want to talk to someone sooner, remember you can always give us a ring, on 0808 808 0000. The number's free to call and available Mon-Fri 9am-8pm. The team may not be able to answer specific questions about your treatment (only your own medical team can do that) but they will be able to listen to how you're doing and offer you support.
