Hello,
So, I had two lumpectomies (first one margins were not clear) and after the second, a small part of my wound didn't heal. It's superficial, only about 1x1cm but it's going through secondary wound healing rather than primary. I've been and am still going to a special wound dresser at the clinic to have it checked and dressed regularly - but oncology eventually decided we needed to start chemotherapy anyway, because the window was closing for it to be useful.
Now: I have 4 cycles of TC until Christmas, I did get my first already last week.
Oncology thinks the wound will not heal at all anymore, it'll just "stay as is". My surgeon thinks it'll get worse and was unhappy because chemo had to be started. The wound dresser says she cannot know at all, she doesn't want to say anything.
Did any of you have small wounds that still healed during chemotherapy? What are your experiences?
Nobody ever says how other patients fared, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one ever with this issue.
Thank you
Colibri
