Lowest point

At my lowest.  2 operations plays 2 nasty infections after each operation.  Radiotherapy finished but I now have a chest infection, scar weeping, no appetite and feeling cold all the time.  How long does this last.?

  • Oh poor Sue you seem to have gone through so much recently and how unfortunate to have had two nasty infections after each operation.

    Don't hesitate to talk to your medical team and to mention everything to them: feeling cold, the chest infection, your lack of appetite as well as the scar weeping. I think it would be a good idea for them to have a look at the scar if they haven't done so already and I am sure they will prescibe the appropriate treatment to help you recover quickly from all this.

    You might also benefit from having a chat with our specialist nurses. You can ring them on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and I am sure they will have some great advice for you!

    Best wishes and I hope you feel better soon!
