Pay attention to your nipples! They might be trying to tell you something.
I had noticed for some time that one nipple was dry and scaley, then one day I had a milky discharge - like dried oatmeal! I washed it off, but the next day, my nipple stuck to my bra and it started bleeding. I went to a walk-in clinic, and they gave me a treatment but also told me to make an appointment

Breast Cancer ER/PR+ HER2- Grade3 Stage 3B
I finished chemo in May. Had two unsuccessful lumpectomy surgeries and then a nonskin sparing mastectomy, no reconstruction . Now I’m getting ready for radiation therapy. I am also looking beyond RT and next steps. Any resources or tips?

Reconstruction after implant infection.
Hello All I was diagnosed with grade 1 ER pos. and HER2 neg. BC in April 2018. I had surgery in July for a left breast reduction and right breast mastectomy with an implant. The surgeons performed lymph nodes and nipple biopsy to test to see if the cancer had spread and I was relieved to hear that

Refusing Chemo
I am 63 and recently diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ducal carcinoma, hormone negative and HER2 positive. This is a more aggressive cancer but let’s face it, cancer is cancer.

Ovarian cystectomy laparoscopy missing cyst wrong side?
Just had a laparoscopy to remove a 3cm ovarian dermoid cyst. But when I came round the nurse said they didn't find the cyst.... The incision is on the wrong side of my pelvis. Could they have looked on the wrong side? Were 2 ultrasound scans wrong? Can dermoid cyst disappear? I've been having dreadful

Prepectoral, immediate, direct to implant surgery
Hello, Has anyone had this type of mastectomy and immediate above the muscle reconstruction? I live in a small town in North Carolina and I am finding it hard to find a surgeon/patients who have had experience with this procedure. Thank you very much.

Hi I’m new 😁
Hi I’m 27 years old and was diagnosed with a high grade papillary carcinoma. I am a BrAc1 carrier also from my dads side. I had a double mastectomy in August and was told that was all I would need. However on removal of my breast tissue they found another lump at grade 3. I have now been told that that

Hi, My mom underwent bilateral mastectomy after being diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer,DCIS.

Oncology appointment went well- decision will most likely be follow up with ultrasounds no ovaries will be removed for now.
He said most of the time they take care of borderline tumors with a
cystectomy
,since my ovaries had a wedge resection it is likely the tumor was removed then, he said once he gets the slides he will give me a more definite plan of action but it seems like he thinks following up and ultrasounds screenings

Gall bladder removal
I’ve managed my gallbladder condition for over 5 years but want to have it removed with offending stones. Can anybody tell me about their experiences, pre and post removal. I’m in very low fat diet but experience gall bladder episodes one or twice a year, when I indulge but not in the sense of a normal
