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

Heartbroken
So today we had to bring our 7 year old beautiful Maine Coon Bella to the vet because we thought she was having dental problems. We were told that it looks like oral cancer and we want to see a specialist as soon as possible and they would need to take half of her jaw out at least and I'm so torn whether

Well today I found out that my 7-year-old sweet Maine Coon Bella most likely has oral cancer my heart is absolutely breaking. We have to take her to a specialist to make sure that is the case but either way she would need surgery that would take part of her jaw. In addition to that I had a wonderful

Update on Dan
I've been up the hospital since 10, I've only popped home for a shower and some food. The surgery went well but during the night Dan had a couple of seizures (apparently it's a risk after a craniotomy) but he is on medication and responding well. Me and his Dad went up to visit him and spoke to one

Adenomyosis advice
Hi all, I was diagnosed with endo after a laparoscopy in 2022, and about 2 months after the surgery I started to suffer from pelvic pain and lower back pain, which I have never had before and it didn't seem to be linked to any injury etc. I wanted to share what happened next in case it's useful for

Low eye pressure
I have Normal Tension Glaucoma and had a Deep Scleretomy operation on my right eye 18 months ago ( I believe this is a similar operation to a trab, the aim being to lower the pressure) and I have a bleb under my eyelid. Immediately after surgery the pressure dropped to 3 but gradually over eight months

Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone

Sensitive (but hopeful)
++ + If you're not up to this please scroll on and I hope this hasn't upset anyone - it's never my intention. I just want to give an update and maybe some hope to anyone who may be feeling a bit hopeless. Update: My LG is here - after what seemed like a very straightforward pregnancy it all went suddenly
