Healing Incisions

You need to have that
You need to have that checked out by your surgeon. I have a sore from radiation that is slow to heal and just went to see my surgeon and she was concerned: she said she has seen recurrences present themselves as sores that won't heal. When I saw my PT for my annual, she thought bacteria might be preventing it from healing and gave me a cream. It is best to check with the SURGEON. Please let me know how it goes.0 -

I will bring that up when I see my PS (I meant to say that originally instead of PT) in two weeks. I wonder what the average time for incisions to heal completely is and if they're on the side that nodes were taken out does it take longer - questions I will be sure to ask. The surgeon told me not to cut my cuticles, have blood drawn, etc. on my right side which happens to be the side in question. Today it's been exactly 3 weeks since my surgery. Thanks for the input.0 -

You might want to call or see your PS before the 2 weeks. It would maybe give you peace of mind. Good luck to you!0
