I had a lumpectomy on 16th March. It was healing up lovely then 4 weeks later the wound opened up and I had infection. This has delayed starting chemotherapy.
The wound is taking so long to heal it has been recommended I have further surgery to cut and re stitch. Has this happened to anyone else.

  • Hi there, I'm sorry no one has answered your post just yet, the site is busy but my reply will bump you up and hopefully someone with the right experience will be along soon.  I haven't had this experience myself but that sounds both painful and very frustrating and I hope you get this resolved soon.
