<human>: My friend has had a radical mastectomy and there is remaining cancer on the surface level of her skin where the keyloided(sp) scars are.  A hole was burned in her chest from radiation treatments and the would is still open.  I dont have faith in her current treatments and wondered what we can do to help first heal the cancer and then regrow skin in the area where it is affected.
<bot>: HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor Sorry to hear about your condition. If there is remaining cancer in chest wall after surgery, then the outcome is poor. However, if the hole/scar is cancer free she can expect good outcome. Regarding the wound after radiation, it heals very slowly. I am good plastic surgeon can help in this condition. But again for plastic surgical procedure like flaps, the chest wall scar should be cancer free. Regards
