Wow, that dose is much higher than mine. I still have sensitive skin and my face will look pink like I’ve scrubbed it too hard after my shower even though I’m gentle with my skin. It takes time.
I had the right side of liver removed along with most of the bile duct and just enough remaining to attach to lower intestines. So the longest part of the incision is on my right side. MRI pics of liver before show a dying liver because of blocked bile duct with holes in it and shriveling up, new MRI 4 months after surgery show beautiful new large liver.
I have the chevron incision which is still quite thick above and below incision and feels like wearing a belt, which is tighter after meals. I’m exercising and getting flexibility back.
How do you feel and how is your scar healing?

@nancyschweitzer
My incision was between my breast down to belly button
was glued and healed nicely. They wanted me on it for 6 months but really hard time with side effects so I took it for 3 months oncologist took me off of it and wanted to start with IV chemo but I was on antibiotics for 3 months afterwards with infection after infection but went into remission mostly since it was caught before I had any symptoms - very fortunate
Now had hip replacement from no blood supply AVN
