I had a full masectomy two years ago. I developed a staph infection on the right side, and lost my expander. The hole in my chest remained for 11 months and two plastic surgeons. It was stitched up again a month ago. I made a salve at home using calendula and comfrey. I massage it into the scar twice a day. I am now seeing healthy pink skin develop. I tried everything short of oxygen treatments. Stay strong. Healing takes forever but it finally happened. I'm writing this in hopes that women will see that you will heal. It may drive you half crazy, I know at the end I felt desperate. If your doctor just looks at it and says see you in three weeks, find another doctor. I did and it made ALL the difference!! God bless and good luck!!
