    HI Shaz, How did you go with the surgeon? Hope they got it all.

    I also found out the hard way with allergic reactions to all dressings. I was covered in blisters and the riped half my skin off when they removed the dressings. They got infected too and man was that fun. I now have NO DRESSINGS on my medical records. Even Micropore tape is no good. It was worse and took longer to heal than the mastectomy did.

    Well I know now.

    Let us know how you got on and how you are going? We are like sisters here.

    Take Care Xoxox

    Fingers definitely crossed for your results.
