I find the differences between hospitals amazing. When my wound broke down I was told not to let anyone pack it as the fluid needed to escape. Then when seroma stopped I was still left with the sinus which failed to heal on its own. That’s where I insisted on getting tissue viability to review it. They said that flaminol gel would work a treat on the actual wound and I swear after a week of using the gel it was half the size. The small sinus was still there. They then said to put nothing at all on it and let it close itself which I did last week and so far the wound is now fully healed. so many difference between wound healing and time scales for radiotherapy. My radiotherapy dept said they would offer rads up to six months esp for folk with wound issues as it is an extremely common problem. My breast surgeon said the evidence is poor to back up having it done within 6-12 weeks. Other people are saying they won’t get it if they go over the 12 weeks. Such a variance in what should be all stream lined care.
