Major surgery and a Vasovagal event
I had gluteal
reconstructive
surgery
. The anaesthetist suggested I should increase my pred. So I did the sick day rule and added 5. Three days after surgery I had a Vasovagal event and the crash cart was called. I had a concussion and stayed in hospital a further two nights.

delayed reconstruction
I was supposed to receive
reconstructive
surgery
and have titanium implant to protect the sensitive area where my skin is my only protection to my brain. That was supposed to be 3-6 months after the initial surgery.

Hello
I was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2001 I had a mastectomy with
reconstructive
surgery
followed by chemo and radiation. Following that I was put on Tamoxifen Arimidex and Taxol. After being off for 5 years last year in 2022 I was diagnosed in the other breast with cancer.

Hormonal therapy ?
Hi, I was diagnosed with extended DCIS with ER+, PR+.I had a total mastectomy with a diep flap 2 weeks ago, My surgeon referred me to medical oncology for hormonal therapy. I am curious do I still need hormonal therapy as I already had a mastectomy, as far as cancer recurrence and preventing cancer

Diep Flap Procedure Question
Hi, I'm a breast cancer survivor and I had a double mastectomy. It is planned that I'm going to have the Diep flap procedure and I was wondering if anyone could advise me on how weight gain and loss affect the body after this procedure? Thanks

Hello
Hey, I'm new. I've been looking for a community of women like me. I'm having a hard day... For a while now. But I went to a new family Dr after my move. When we started talking about my endometriosis she didn't seem to care about how much pain I'm in or have been in. How much this has effected my life

Anxiety and loneliness
Hi, I'm a 69 yrs old female, I first dealt with anxiety with the birth of my first child 41 yrs ago. That was due to a thyroid condition that I had surgery for, but continued with anxiety and panic attacks. I couldn't drive, hyperventilated, could not go grocery shopping due to panic attacks. After

Evening everyone👋 Hope you are all as ok and comfortable as possible. 🤞 I've not long ago had a very brief email from Sylvi in hospital to say that the surgery is over and she should be going home tomorrow. She asked me to put a post up for her, to let you all know. I'm sure many of you have been

Vit D deficient
for the last 3 years I’ve been experiencing peculiar feelings like the odd numbness in my hands and feet, weird almost tremblings up and down my arms, more anxiety than usual, awful muscle and bone pain in my legs and around my torso so as usual I put everything down to my AF or my hypertension. Anyway

Thinking about giving up on diagnosis
Hi everyone. I finally had my first consultation at an endometriosis specialist centre. I saw a female doctor for the first time ever since my problems started a few years ago, which was nice. She couldn't believe that my GP surgery wouldn't let me continue with the combined pill and said I would HAVE

Dealing with diagnosis and going forward
Hi all, I was diagnosed end of February via laparoscopy. At first I was relieved to know that it wasn't all in my end but the past few months I've struggled now knowing that this is my life.
