Yep, quite agree. I saw infection when the round opened. And actually my BCN saw the redness on the 1st when I had my follow up. The last thing she said to me was “keep an eye on the little area of red”… by the following evening, it was dark red and throbbing… the next night my wound was completely open.
I actually asked the A&E nurse to swab too, and those results come to my GP not my surgeon- so I’ll know anyway. I’m not daft 
You have to advocate for yourself- always.
Best of luck to you with your new follow up appointment lovie. I hope it’s not too long. That’s so shitty!!
Sending big hugs… left side ones, well trying to with my gimpy right side not co-operating 
It’s so easy to just forget… then you get a sharp reminder 
Bloody cancer!!! Grrrr
