Hello all
I dont know if anyone else may be experiencing or have experienced an ulcerated/fungating wound.
Im struggling to cope, it is under my right breast, so the weight of my breast is sitting on the wound all the time.
I have been told its never going to heal.
Hi katy1 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you've been told that a wound under your breast will never heal, which must be a very difficult thing to come to terms with.
The online community is divided into different support forums where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support.
As you haven't said what type of cancer you are recovering from I can't give you a link to the relevant forum. You could either look through this list to choose the relevant forum or let me know your type of cancer and I'll then provide you with a direct link.
Once you've joined the forum, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
