Hi, I had IDC and ILC in both breasts, I had at least 8 tumours in both breasts. Largest tumours were 2 very close together (6cm and 7cm). I had a double mastectomy with implant reconstruction and a full axillary clearance on one side where only 1 of 12 lymph nodes were positive (this was the side with the largest tumours). My right side has healed beautifully, however my left side where the larger surgery was won’t heal. So far I’ve had 2 additional procedures to remove dead skin and last op also removed implant on that side but an expander has been inserted instead. I have a PICO dressing on (my 4th so far) but noticed today the wound is opening again. Has anyone else experienced this? If yes what did your surgeon do? Just feeling a bit fed up as I’ve now run out of sick pay and just can’t seem to move forward and heal chemo is being delayed until I’ve healed. Just wondered if anyone else has had this? X
