Hi, just wondering what people do to help with the skin around the nibble? The skin was dry and liquid comes out when diagnosed with breast cancer.
It has become worse, even bleeding at times.
Ive had my1st chemo.
just wondering what dressing people use, any tips on cleaning and how to deal with odour from it.
I rang breast clinic nurses who advised to use non adhesive pads.
It just worries me and wondered if any one has any tips and advise?
I appreciate any advice
Many thanks
Hi I was diagnosed in September 2022 with invasive ductal her2 positive breast cancer after my so called doctor had put me on a dermatology 18month waiting list for dermatitis. I used to get non stick dressings from my local practice, I've had 2 chemotherapy sessions plus Phesgo, I had some side effects with the chemo so they stopped and went straight to surgery which I had on 10th Feb plus I now take letrozole tablets, I have my drain and wound check tomorrow, sending big hugs
