Hi Everyone,

I have a question, it has been two years since I had surgery and a trach. A few months ago a wound appeared on the right side of trach scar, doctor's immediately cut and biopsied it, came back negative for c. It won't heal, so I am having surgery next Friday so they can look into it further. Doc has suggested possible stitch left over from surgery coming thru, any ideas? Thanks, Carol
