Hello ladies, I hope you're all as well as you can be... I just wanted to ask as I continue to have problems following my surgery back in August last year. After initially healing well around 5 weeks post op I developed a small red patch on my breast though nowhere near the incision site. This then spread rapidly across my breast and I then also started to have areas where the skin appeared to be breaking down which led to radiotherapy being delayed. I was admitted to hospital, pumped with lots of antibiotics and various tests and biopsies but no sign of infection. Due to time frames, though I wasn't healed and was in quite a state it was decided radio should go ahead. That ended 1st of November and months later I have 5 open wounds on my breast that I treat and dress and have a very large area of thickened tissue which appears to be spreading higher up into my chest and armpit. I've been in agony for months which I now take Zomorph for and oncology and the surgical team are baffled. Has anyone had a similar experience and if so would you have any idea what this may be? TIA xx
Thanks so much for your response. I have seen tissue viability who tried to help then was referred to a skin specialist back in march who was concerned it may be a recurrence. Unfortunately the hospital had not received my information from the breast clinic on the day of my spot do they assured me they would chase it up and get me back in urgently. Next thing I know is my surgeon and the skin specialist discussed me over the phone the following weekend and my referral was closed and I was supposed to be referred to plastics who would help. So far that's not happened and I'm no further forward. I've since raised some concerns as I have no idea why my referral was closed and I have a meeting with professionals at the end of this month to hopefully find out what happens next.
If I'm honest I just feel completely defeated and deflated right now
