Maybe it's unusual for a bloke to be writing here but I have a problem that's causing me worry and I wonder if anybody can help?
My wife had a R mastectomy in 2023 Her wound was leaking seroma and she was sent back for rectification surgery. The original leak was from two small pinholes but after the surgery she now has a hole abour 3cm across which is still leaking. She had the second surgery in February 2023 and has been in a mess since. She is attending hospital twice weekly but nothing seems to change other then her dressings. The dressings leak around the adhesive edges. This has now been almost a year.
Today we visited the skin integrity unit at one of our hospitals who have expressed concern that there are two holes one on the outer skin and one on the inside. She is writing an email to the breast surgeon to see what she can do. My wife has been told she is clear of cancer.
Can anybody throw any light on this please? I was extremely worried and upset when she had the cancer, now I am just as worried. Why is it taking so long to seal her scar from almost 12 months ago. It's no way to live and I really need a solution.
Please help
