Herceptin and wound issues ??
I finished 6 rounds of TCH on May 18 and I had exchange surgery on June 17 and I have been having wound healing problems since. Initially the incisions close and then after I get herceptin they open back up in the same week. My implants where exchanged 3 weeks ago yesterday and everything was fine during my follow up on Tuesday with the PS. Wednesday morning I woke up to a tiny blister on my incision and today there is a hole. During my second exchange all of the fluid was checked and it isn't an infection. So it got me thinking is it something to do with the herceptin ?? (which I will continue with until February) I am really concerned now that I will have incision problems even if they remove the implants.
So did anyone else have healing problems while on herceptin ??
