Hi there
I had a mastectomy 10 weeks ago with a saline reconstruction with bovine mesh at the same time - I have been attending a wound clinic since as there is a problem with the wound healing. On attending last Thursday I was advised that things with the healing were not progressing, The consultant took a look and said if I was patient it would probably heal. I spoke with the nurse afterwards and she said that it may take another one or two months for the wound to heal, and that there was no guarantee that it would, The options I have been given are wait it out, trimming and re-suturing (definite no) or remove the implant, commence with the radiotherapy (which is being postponed because of the wound) and come back to reconstruction at a later date. Has anyone else encountered this situation? I'm a bit shell shocked to be honest - Thanks xxxx
