Post-hysterectomy bleeding from incision

A friend of mine had a radical hysterectomy a month ago (for uterine & cervical cancer), and her incision is still bleeding. Have other people had the same experience? If so, how long did it last? What made it better or worse?

I had a rad. hyst. over a year ago & didn't have this problem, but I had two drains with bulbs on the end that I had to drain regularly. Once they voluntarily drained, all over the place, while I was sitting in a waiting room - talk about loss of dignity.
