Hi
Iam new to the group and would like some help. I had a mastectomy with reconstruction in Dec 2019. All went well until my wound wouldn’t heal and had another operation in January. All was fine for a couple of months until my would suffered a blister and for the last 3 weeks i am having to visit the hospital for the wound to be dressed. i am so very upset and would love to hear from anyone as i am feeling very low.

Hi SRB61
I am new to all this online stuff too, although I do have a facebook account.
So sorry to hear that you're having such a rotten time. I'm really pleased you have found a way to reach out for some support. I have found it really hard to share some of the upsetting aspects of having breast cancer with family and friends. That is why I thought I'd try this.
I really hope you start having some better luck soon and your wound starts to make better progress. In the meantime I hope you get some strength from knowing we are here for you.
Big hugs
Sue
