Hello Orlando and thank you for posting.

The best person to assess your scar is either your GP or someone from your hospital team. If you have the contact number for a specialist nurse (CNS) do give them a call and let them know whats happened to your wound. It may be fine or it may be that there is some infection there and you need some antibiotics, but they will be able to review you and decide.

Take care and if you want to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9am till 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Thanks for replying.  GP had a look at scar area and says it doesn’t look like an infection but has said best to speak to BCN team.  Quick call to BCN and have to get wound checked next Tuesday.  

Ended up a BC clinic yesterday as scar was leaking.  Turns out it’s an infection so antibiotics, drain in, swabs done and back on Monday to have it checked
