My name is Lynne and I live in Nebraska. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 with bilateral mastectomy. Did well for 6 + years and just diagnosed with MBC to bones in spine, lymph nodes in neck and both lungs. Recently went through 3 weeks of radiation therapy to help some pain in my right arm

Denosumab (Prolia) injection - has anyone had any experience with it?
Hi I haven't posted for a while. I had breast cancer back in May 2014 and had a total mastectomy and lymph node removal. Although at the time no mets were found at a later CT scan a "shadow " was found on my spine (this was about 18 months ago). A PET scan revealed it was not active and my oncologist

CKD and Fatigue
Right ureter and kidney removed July 2016 due to TCC (transitional cell carcinoma) linked to bladder cancer (
cystectomy
performed in February 2015). I am being very careful to adhere to a renal diet, plus I take VALTESSA (potassium binder).

Mastectomy and rebuild in just over two weeks, and getting scared!
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me my upcoming operation is not going to be too terrible! I am so scared now. I had a lumpectomy in April, but now need a mastectomy. Been fine for weeks, but today feel incredibly ratty and jittery. I am having a single (left side) mastectomy

Hair thinning? Anyone else noticed this? Any tips?
I had breast cancer 2 years ago, estrogen + had mastectomy now on letrozole, I tolerate the tablet well. I didn't have chemo or radiotherapy. But I have noticed my hair has got thinner, I assume this is because the letrozole has reduced my estrogen level, was wondering if anyone else had experienced

Nipple saving re-construction
I've just been diagnosed with a small tumour- stage 1 and the nurse has told me if a lumpectomy is not possible (owing to breast size and size of tumour) that the full mastectomy will be done and I will automatically have the nipple removed. Is this always the case, is this what NICE guidance say the

Mastectomy - prosthetics and bras
My surgery had happened last year and I'm confused on which prosthetics to buy - powder based or gel based? Also, any recommendations on where to buy in Delhi.

Single & Dating
Any single women out there with advice regarding dating? I had a double mastectomy 2 years ago. My implants had to be removed due to infection, so I am living flat now. I do use prostheses in my bras. I am in my 60's and single. I would like to get out there and date again. I don't know how to go about

I am a breast cancer survivor, been through mastectomy and chemotherapy and am on Tamoxifen. Have had anxiety attacks since I was diagnosed but lately, it is on a daily basis. It is getting worse as I feel nausea, no appetite, chills, sad and crying for no reason. Have spoken to my doctors and they said

Post Mastectomy and lymph node clearance (Left side) expectations.
Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. It's been a while since my last post but I wanted to ask for some advice. I finished my Docetaxol chemo cycles a month ago and then had to wait until I was well enough for my mastectomy and lymph node clearance on left side. I had the surgery last Thursday

Caregiver to my mom
I'm 39 years old, married with 4 children. My mother has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer (IDC) again. This is 17 years after her first diagnosis which was treated with a lumpectomy and radiation. This time around she's getting a mastectomy with reconstruction. She's leaving the other breast alone.

Letrozole and Migraines
Hi, I have had a recurrence of breast cancer, a mastectomy, and have just started on Letrozole. I have a history of post menopausal migraines and have had a couple of worse migraines since I started Letrozole 1 month ago.
