Hi has any one suffered with a synus, a bit like an abcess, but it's open? 

I had a mastectomy in November and it STILL hasnt healed up.

It has had infection but now they are saying no infection, but just this reservoir of pus (nice) 

Sorry if you are eating lunch.... 

I am very fed up the way this has been treated.

    Hi Precious Cargo welcome to the forum that sounds really annoying and will be dragging you down physically as well with repeated infections.

    Im no expert by any stretch of the imagination but anyone with a reservoir of pus would make me think that an Infection is present otherwise what is causing the pus to collect like that. Who is saying it is not infection and have you had swabs taken from this to check etc?

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
