Returning to work
I had a mastectomy in March and do not need further treatment. Is it wise to return to my part time clerical job while I still have swelling and stinging under my arm. I am not eligible for SSP due to insufficient contributions and have used my CSP so am now a 'kept' woman. I know the advice is always

Radical Cystectomy and Neo Bladder Update.
Well, it was a week ago today since my surgery. I'm still in hospital, but feeling pretty good. The pains and soreness are subsiding, and walking around the ward at a gentle pace. The doctors are visiting daily and checking my 4 bags for outputs. The only draw back ive had was yesterday. One of the tubes

LETROZOLE
Hi all, I had surgery last December I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. I didn't require chemotherapy nor radiotherapy and feel very fortunate. My tumour was receptive to oestrogen so I was put on LETROZOLE , my first 'brand' gave me terrible joint pain. I am taking a different brand now

Bladder Removal Surgery in Las Vegas
I am currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer. Upon completion of chemo, I will need to have my bladder removed. I have decided to go with ileal conduit (stoma with bag for life) surgery rather than a neo-bladder construction. My oncologist has recommended I go

Another shock
I have been unable to post due to being very poorly since before Christmas. I had a mastectomy before Christmas and was told everything was o.k. But January this year the pain in my chest and back was getting so bad I thought the operation had upset the vasculitis and thought it would settled. My GP

Jaccuzzi or not?
I had a mastectomy 3 months ago and am due to go on my annual holiday. What is the advice re jacuzzis? I have been advised that saunas/steamrooms are out of bounds but wondered if it is ok to sit waist deep in a jacuzzi? It is one of my few holiday pleasures but I don't want to be silly and invite

Rib pain months after radiotherapy
Evening all, just wondering whether anyone else has/is experiencing any random pains, I say random but think entirely related to radiotherapy. On my right side, mastectomy side, I've been getting discomfort when stretching at bottom of ribs, there's nothing to see, no marks or swelling. Any shared experiences

Saw my surgeon today....
Had appointment this morning, not seen my surgeon since my last inflating of expander in January, she examined me and was really pleased with how my mastectomy scar looks after having had radiotherapy, she said it looks like we've got away with it, although radiotherapy is the gift that keeps on giving

Prosthesis advice
Hi all, I had a mastectomy 9 weeks ago without re construction and I am using a 'sublime'prosthesis from the' hospital store cupboard' which I am finding heavy , sweaty and uncomfortable to wear. I have an appointment in 2 weeks to have it assessed and as my time with the fitter will be limited I wondered
