I developed Cellulitis after my first breast cancer surgery in February this year. I was given antibiotics for 5 days. I had a 2nd surgery in March and my surgery drained fluid from my breast and fitted a drain. Cellulitis was still present but no antibiotics were offered. By early April my Cellulitis worsened and my GP prescribed me antibiotics for one week. My cellulitis didn't improve so my GP prescribed a stronger antibiotic for another week. Unfortunately this didn't work so my GP referred me back to my breast care centre. My breast care centre told me no more antibiotics. I continued to suffer with Cellulitis. I attended an appointment with an oncologist regarding my radiation treatment which was due to start. I told the oncologist about my Cellulitis that I was concerned about, he examined me and agreed it was hot and red but still no further antibiotics given. I went for CT scan and mapping & I mentioned my concerns about my Cellulitis, again no joy. I went onto to have 5 days of the fast forward radiation treatment and on the last day of my treatment I saw a nurse who did a skin review, suddenly I was taken to see a doctor and my Cellulitis became a massive concern. I was immediately given 2 weeks of antibiotics and a list of emergency numbers that I had to ring if my cellulitis became any worse. I've been in quite a lot of pain all week, I've taken codeine and paracetamol to manage the pain. My cellulitis is very hot to touch. I've had another review again today of and again I've been told to go to A&E if it gets any worse. I still have another week of antibiotics to take & fingers crossed. Has anyone else suffered ongoing problems with cellulitis?
