I hope you called the doctor right away. I know if the wound is open and gets infected it can cause you have another operation.

Noticed you basically just joined whatnext, sorry for what brings you though. So much this cancer diagnosis does to our lives and so many questions. Been a great support place. Let me know if can help. My surgeries different than yours but have wound care experience and no matter where wounds are the basics hold true.

i to had lobular carcinoma stage 3 III stay positive

bfmomma- I also have invasive ductal carcinoma. Stage 3 HR+
I just began TH today. I too had 4 rounds of AC. Along with Nuelasta shot received the following day. If you have any questions for me, I'd be glad to answer them for you.
Hang in there, we're not alone in this journey. Wishing you, and everyone reading this, a restful nights sleep.

Hi and welcome. We have many similarities in our cancer diagnosis. I also had invasive lobular carcinoma and was HER2 positive, as well as ER and PR positive. I was stage IIB. My sentinel node also contained cancer so my surgeon did an axillary dissection, removing 18 but fortunately cancer was only in the sentinel node.

So when will you begin chemo? Are you going to receive Taxotere and Carboplatin? I assume you will receive the "targeted therapy" drug, Herceptin.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Blessings.
