Has anyone else got Crohn’s disease and breast cancer? I saw my PS yesterday about having a recontruction after mx soon and he said that sometimes there can be a problem with the veins ‘crumbling’(?!)in patients with Crohn’s although he is prepared to do the op. Anyone else?
I have Crohns and BC. My veins are in a terrible state due to the CD - and I have had problems with healing due to the veins crumbling and not holding. If he is happy to do the op then fine, but I would speak to someone regarding some supplements to take before the op which will help with your healing. For example, I only found out that zinc can help after I had a non unified broken bone. So I would advise you to do some homework on what you can take to improve the state of your veins and tissues.
