Leg Ulcer Aggrieved By Using Sutent For Kidney Cancer

Updated

My husband has a leg ulcer on his shin. He had surgery in April to clean the wound and was given Bactrazine ointment to use. He is on chemotherapy, called Sutent. We have tried all sorts of creams but we cannot get the ulcer to heal. It has been over a year now. We live in Durban South Africa, can anyone please give us advice and will Terrasil actually work? At the moment we are using IRUXOL Mono ointment.

Hi Freda,

I found your post on the internet. I'm currently battling the same problem. Can you please let me know if Terrasil worked for your husband's leg ulcer?

Thank you.

I was using silver sulfadiazine cream as prescribed by my dr but i ran out. I called and he was on vacation. I searched the internet and found terrasil kind of expensive but when your desperate well you know. I ordered it and used it for 2 weeks before my dr came back and i do believe it was helping. The thing that helps me the most is a pressure stocking. This is my 5th leg ulcer no fun.
