Let's give it a go

mastectomy
and failed immediate reconstructruction due to infection, and radiation, you can i.agime the state of depression I'm in right now. I've always suffered with depression and anxiety.

Vasectomy choices
I'm due for my snip consult with NHS. Can I choose what method is used? Open or closed, scalpel or no scalpel?

5 days since mastectomy
I had a left
mastectomy
on Thursday. My lymph nodes had to come out to because cancer was present but I don't know how many nodes were affected yet. I'm not in pain as such but the numb feeling is getting me down.

September/October ICSI Treatment
Hello First time posting so please bear with me.... We are going through self-funded ICSI treatment due to hubby having had a vasectomy (and a subsequent failed vasectomy reversal 3 years ago). I'm 30 years old and healthy so hoping that goes in our favour. All being well it looks as though we will be

Useful recovery gift
Hi, my friend has recently told me she has breast cancer and will soon be having
mastectomy
and reconstruction surgery. I want to make up a basket of useful gifts for her to take with her when she goes into hospital but I'm at a loss as to what to include.

Why is a Mastectomy Needed?
My question is if there is no sign of an active tumour at the end of the 6 rounds then why is a
mastectomy
needed? I am 46 yrs old.

Not a Warrior
Had double
mastectomy
. It’s been 2-yrs since I completed chemo. I ‘m angry, sad, disappointed, hate my body, I gained a lot of weight, don't exercise or eat well anymore. Am fatigued all the time, depressed, on anti-depressants. Was in some support groups, but found unhelpful after chemo.

Targeted therapy- New drugs - any good for stomach cancer?
Jimmy, My Dad, was first diagnosed with stage 2 gastric cancer in May 2014, and told it was in-operable. He was treated with EOX chemotherapy for 6 months. This reduced the tumour and enabled the doctors to do a total gastrectomy in Feb 2015. He was cancer free for 18 months, during which time he lost

Nearly a year post chemo
I then had bilateral
mastectomy
and lymph node clearance left axilla. That is all fine. All healed up and no problem. I am continuing on the Herceptin and Pertuzumab every 3 weeks. I never itched at all during chemo! If anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful!

Reassurance needed about underarm cording ....
I managed the
mastectomy
fine, the chemo, hair loss, nipple removal, you name it, but I'm really struggling with this. It makes me feel horrible and I feel frightened that I won't be able to lift my arm properly because the cords are so tight. Have any of you ladies experienced it?

Vasectomy
Can anyone tell me what would be the changes on the sexual desire after vasectomy? I am keen to know before deciding myself doing one. Your advice and experience would be much appreciated.

Bad anxiety
People tell me I'm lucky as no
mastectomy
or chemo, and on the face of it I'm much better off than others. I find mindfulness and qigong practice very good but my anxiety levels very high in morning. Has any one else had anxiety after taking letrozole? Thanks
