LeeLee1908 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Good afternoon everyone ☺️!! I just came back from my 3 month oncology follow up. Dr looked over chest X-ray said nothing suspicious. He’s going to order 6 month CT for September/October. I told him I’m still having severe incision pain he looked at incision and said a keloid has formed 😩. He explained it’s common in African Americans. He said he would refer me to a plastic surgeon. He said however there’s a chance of it recurring he said to reduce it from recurring he said low dose of radiation right after having it removed. I told him I would think about. 😒 Has anyone had to deal with keloids? ☺️💕 Tom Galli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouT Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 LeeLee, So sorry to hear about the Keloid scar. Until you mentioned it I had never heard about one before, but there is a short article on the Mayo Clinic Website about this issue and it can be found here. I hope they come up with a solution for you and soon. I'll watch this thread to see if others have had the experience.
