A year after my DCIS surgery

TrixieM

I had stage 0 DCIS diagnosed a year ago. Sounds mild right? Because of my family history of my mom having both breasts removed and many female cousins with breast cancer I took the diagnosis seriously. I had a partial mastectomy. Everything went well except for my body rejecting the sutures thereby making my "high end" bat wing incision not heal properly. A year later I am still having trouble with it splitting open and creating an even bigger scar. After my one year mammo, the incision opened up again. It has now dimpled in 2 spots and even where it didn't open up it is swollen and painful. Has anyone else experienced this?

Trixie, do you live somewhere that would have a wound care specialist you could see

I have been back to see my surgeon a few times. His answer through his nurse practitioner is to use medi honey when it opens up. With time it heals back up but I will go a while and it will blister back up again. My last mammo I think squished what ever is wrong inside and made the scar open back up again. Maybe I should see someone else
