Faith in Him,

I know of a woman who had poor wound healing after radiation. It took a very long time to resolve and that breast has more scaring than the non-radiated side. I wonder if you should seek a second opinion?

I do not think your problem a small one. Staph is not simple matter, and 7 months is a very long time. I'll be watching to see what others post. I hope you will receive some helpful information.

This sounds terrible! I see you are in Northern California. Have you tried seeing a specialist at Stanford or UCSF? I am not sure what kind of specialist would be appropriate. Hopefully, someone else will chime in. Are there wound healing specialists?
