Has any of you had this problem post surgery? I’ve been having issues with my wound since they removed the staples 10 days post op. I’ve also had a low grade fever coming and going from the 3rd day post op. I am now 3 and a half weeks post op and I found out today I have pseudomonas aeruginosa (they swabbed the wound in my bellybutton). So I’ve been put on antibiotics (ciprofloxacine 500 mg) for 7 days but I’ve read it’s not easy to get rid of this bug. Does anyone have any experience with something like this??

Well, I thought I would write as you hadn't had any replies although I haven't had your experience. Sounds like a nasty bug. I hope that the antibiotics are doing the trick. I got an infection after my first chemo and had to be hospitalised for 3 days and was on a constant antibiotic drip. It was sorted in the end. Best of luck x
It seems to be a rare occurrence. I worry mostly about starting chemo without being sure this infection has been eradicated. It appears it can linger locally in the infected tissues.
