I had my surgery on 22nd December to remove my 49mm breast tumour. At the same time they did LICAP surgery using fat from under my arm. It was healing fine for the first 3 weeks, and then I started to have a small saroma leak, since then and for the last 4 weeks my scar has opened about 10cm across and just won't heal. Dressings seem useless, but surgeon is saying no infection and are not sure why it isn't healing. So I have been back today to have yet another pico dressing put on, they have taken a swab (after me asking for one) and have referred me to the wound care team (which could take another 3 weeks to come through). Has anyone else had an issue like this with their wound? It's really getting me down now.
Sorry for the long post, just didn't know where else to turn.
Hi Jacster I'm sorry to hear your having trouble with your wound also. I have to say since posting this my breast care team have referred me to the wound care team, and between them and the district nurses helping hopefully we will now get somewhere. I was in a&e last night with symptoms we didnt know were related to my wound, and it's been confirmed I have an infection. They were fantastic with me and I have already received a call from the wound team and we have a treatment plan. If you feel something isn't right you are ok to question, why it's happening and what is the plan moving forward. You will get there in the end, I hope this is just a small bump.in your recovery journey
