My tumour has spread under my arm and is weeping smelly pus all the time.  A friend just said that this is not normal and could be an infection that would easily clear up.  Just wondering if anyone knows?  I use charcol dressing to absorbe the smell

    Hi Brabant welcome to the forum. That sounds like it could possibly be an infection and this may be able to be treated with dressings or anti biotics. You should see if you can get an appointment, either with the breast team or the Nurse at your GP practice and see if they can offer any ideas on this for you. You dont and shouldn't need to put up with this. xxx

  • Just to say thank you.  I am in Germany, attitudes are different here, as for a nurse practicioner.....er no no such person!  When next I see the doc I shall pass on your thoughts.
