Healing

I have been done with chemo for almost 1 year. I cute my finger back in Dec and got 3 stitches. This week it still seemed not completely healed and slightly infected. I see my Onc tomorrow and will tell him about it. Did you notice it taking wounds way longer to heal after or during chemo? Seems odd to me.

healing
I too am off chemo oxy and xeloda for one year. Yes I would say that healing is slower....I use polysporin on every the tiniest cut and they always seem to get infected.
I also find I bruise more easily, the bruises are darker and last longer.
i have no idea if this is a result of chemo but it`s a fact.
