Slow healing process?
My question is how long did it take for your incision to heal?? I've noticed that since I've began treatments, even a little scratch takes forever to heal.. Is this normal?
I try to keep a positive attitude, but I'll tell ya' the last couple days have been hell!

My mammosite
was removed at my last rad treatment Friday November 26th. Yesterday I met my Oncologist and he checked the site and said it was not healed. Although I was advised by RO not to shower my BS said I could. I did limit my showers to every 3-4 days. My BS had me on Keflex (antibiotic) from lumpectomy until last rad, did you take antibiotic. Hope you feel better soon.0 -

On my second round of Keflex. I wasn't told to limit my showers, so the first go round, they did think it was infected, did one round of antibiotics by IV, and thought things were going pretty good, then it started hurting very bad again, so went to see the Dr. It just seems like an awfully long time to heal up. I didn't used to be so slow healing... maybe this is the norm on chemo.?? As far as feeling better, as they say here... I have a pill for that, HA! ( Just don't really like taking so many of the darn things)0 -

I developed a bottom issue that would need surgery but had to wait a bit after chemo to have the surgery. quite a painful wait. Then the healing process took longer as well. so this does not suprise me.0 -

I didn't have the mammosite rads, so, I can't help you with any answers. Just want to wish you good luck and I hope you heal soon.

Thank you!
I forgot to mention I did not have chemo. That surely would explain the difference in the healing process.0
