Chemo port leading to emergency. Can we remove it during severe anemia?
My mother in law is 60year old and was diagnosed with a stage1- 1inch malignant lump with h1+ in her right breast. We moved forward and had her right mastectomy done within 2weeks of detection. After one month we started chemo with docetaxel, carboplatin and trastuzumab as suggested by medical oncologist

37yrs old- newly diagnosed with invasive lobular in the right breast. Debating double or single mastectomy. Advice?
Hi, I’m 37 and a mother of 2 boys, the youngest is 19months. I was diagnosed with multifocal invasive lobular carcinoma in my right breast 13 days ago and am a little shaken! So far my doctors don’t suspect any lymph node involvement and the tumor is ER+ PR+ and HER2- which is leading to an excellent

When can I start running again after laparoscopic cystectomy?
I'm 3 weeks into recovery after my laparoscopic
cystectomy
, as well as removal of endometriosis and a stent had to be inserted into my ureter as this was crushed by the giant ovarian cysts I had. I feel fine, other than some pain when I wee from my stent in my ureter.

Back in late 2015 and I had a
cystectomy
, few months later I was getting ready for my wedding and week before I had an ectopic pregnancy which I had to have emergency surgery to remove my tube.

Latest Update - Post Surgery during Pandemic
Hi All, Just thought I'd post an update. I ended up opting for the double mastectomy, and had the surgery on St. Patrick's Day (March 17th). Considering the hospital was already in COVID-19 lockdown mode, I'm glad I went ahead with the surgery since now most surgeries are postponed. Also the plastic

Surgery and RA
Hello all, I’m relatively new here and really excited to find a lively and helpful community who know what it’s like to live with RA. I’ve had RA since 2004 and my symptoms are mostly under control with a combination of Benepali and Methotrexate. That was until Jan when I had to come off for a mastectomy

Unilateral Mastectomy Regret
I had a unilateral mastectomy and I regret it everyday. My doctors encouraged me to not remove both because it wasn’t necessary and just because Angela Jolie did it, everyone had started doing it and it didn’t improve “quality of life”. I listened to them. I had no idea how disproportionate I would look

Hi all, I’m having bilateral mastectomy soon & the surgeon wants me to start oral arnica. I’m on daily dalterparin (& hydroxychloroquine). I know arnica interacts with warfarin but struggling to find out how or if theres any specific interaction with dalterparin. Does anyone have experience or any pointers

Dilemma about visiting elderly mother in hospital 😪
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is keeping well. Can I ask your advice/opinions please. I have moderate/severe copd. My mother (79) got taken into hospital last night after being found on the floor of her flat, naked, freezing and with a shattered hip. She had been there all night and all the next day.
