I've posted before about my wound, but here we are still: The wound under my breast towards the axilla hasn't healed, has become chronic and even gasped open at some point. I'm in special treatment with a special wound nurse / doctor (both) and we've tried negative pressure therapy (VAC therapy), now we're using a special placental allograft membrane. Yes, it has made some progress, a small part now epithelised. But then one part that had started to epithelise opened up again. But because I'm having chemo, it hasn't fully healed - because the chemo couldn't wait.
However, the main issue seems to be the tension and movement, of course, it's a breast. It cannot be completely still. Whenever I move even the slightest, of course it moves the skin.
They said it will probably heal after chemo finishes (last cycle next Monday). BUT I am no longer convinced: How can it ever heal if there is always movement and tension?
Anyone had this and it healed?
I'm so tired of this. I have cording now in my arm because I cannot move the arm too much. I have a stiff shoulder and I used to be very flexible before. I cannot do exercise or yoga or anything that would help me feel better. I can only sleep soso because only on one side. It's getting old.
