Someone came through and helped me recently, which I am really grateful for. After buying shower boots to use after my surgery, multiple packs of bandages, and paying for hospital transport for my next three surgeries, it’s all used up.

My surgical wounds are infected again and I also have another three surgeries coming up (next one this Tuesday coming) so this will be a recurring issue for a while. I need some iodine patches, ointment and powder to treat this. I will gladly accept help in whatever form - either someone ordering them and sending them to me (the patches are available on amazon and the other items on ebay) or sending help to my paypal account so I can buy them. I can’t buy anything for myself because of my disability payments having been stopped while I go through appeal.

The patches are £7 a box on amazon right now, the powder is £9.90 on ebay and the ointment is £19.90. The wounds have gotten infected after every surgery and with three more coming up, it’s very likely to happen again so I may need multiple of each item.

If anyone is able to order the items and send them to me please PM me.

This was my fourth of these surgeries and it’s gotten infected every time. The first time I got antibiotics, which involves sitting in A&E all day long waiting to be seen, and then dealing with the side effects of the antiobiotics. The second surgery it got infected again and I amazingly managed to get a nurse appointment at the GP, they put iodine on it and it worked perfectly. But I had to pay for the iodine patches they used (with help from someone here), it’s not even covered by my medical exemption certificate. (Because GP surgeries are independent contractors). So when it got infected again the next time I just asked someone to send me the iodine. They did, I used it and it worked. No sitting in a&e all day, no side effects and no having to pay for whatever the nurse used.

These surgeries are to debride and clean infected ulcers caused by my cancer treatment. The actual surgeries are free on the NHS but the patient has to pay for their own bandages, transport and whatever else they may end up needing like antiseptic.
