Hello everyone. I just found this site, and it is sooooo cool. I was Dx'd with stage 3 Breast Cancer in 2005, I did the chemo cocktails , and 33 rads treatments. Then in 2007, I was Dx'd with Breast Cancer again, this time on the other side. I decided to do the Bi-lateral mas. Now I have an open wound that will not heal. we have tried the Wound Vac, And the Aliginate treatment. And it's been a year tomorrow, that I had the surgery. The wound is on the side that had the rads treatment, in 2005. The Dr. says that could very well be the problem. A skin graft is not an option right now.. As the surgeon will not take my case until I quit smoking. ( I'm presently on Chantix and down to 2 smokes a day)So, I was surprised to hear about the Icthammol 20%. Does anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks in advanced.:redpinkhe
