THat's a real long time! And why would you not speak up here? There are no small problems. We are all at different places on our cancer journey and nothing is unimportant.

I think Bill may be on to something. I know of at least one other woman who dealt with large open wounds that wouldn't heal, who turned out to be a diabetic. Something worth getting checked out, I think. And IV antibiotics may be called for now that you have a staph infection.

Take care of yourself. Get plenty of rest, eat healthy foods and drink lots of fluids. Stay away from sugary drinks and starches for a while. See if that helps.

Love

Jacqueline
