So Tony is now four weeks on from his liver resection and is healing well but just got back from our local Urgent Care Centre as the final bit of his surgical scar looked quite inflamed and was oozing a bit of fluid every time he moved..feeling very well with no temperature etc..so he has had it cleaned and dressed and given a course of antibiotics..going to give his Liver Team a call in the morning to let them know what's happened but wondered if anybody else has had a similar experience and if the antibiotics did the trick...

  • Hi 

    So sorry I missed this post . I honestly thought I had replied to

    it .

    How is he now ? My mum did not have any post surgical drains and despite being severely distended her wound held up as far as I can remember. Very wise to have acted on it and hope the antibiotics have done the trick .

    Hope your doing ok yourself . It was around now I suddenly felt very worn out .

    Take care ,

  • Hi Court I have PM you

  • He is doing well thank you..wound is drying up but a bit weepy at the very end but Tony has an appointment with our GP tomorrow to check it over as advised by the Liver Team..they aren't concerned as Tony is very well in himself but just to monitor it etc...we now have an appointment with the oncologist on 20th September put back from 6th September to see if any more treatment is required I guess so getting g a bit nervous about what they will say...I'm OK..I've had a few days where I felt completely overwhelmed but I seem to have bounced back again...xx

  • I can’t seem to send  a reply ! Not sure why . I have just attempted again and it’s not work . 
    Probably the wifi at the caravan but it’s letting me do this .
