Anyone BRCA opted for an elective mastectomy?
I have the dreaded appointment to discuss a potential double mastectomy on Thursday. (I'm BRCA2 and just reached 5 years with no recurrence so far.) I'm having a massive wobble I think caused by a c*ckup that now means any private medical recourse to PARP inhibitors is gone forever - A different story

Recurrent DCIS
Hi all I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy about eight years ago to deal with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) it has now recurred, what an absolute pain. I’ve had a mammogram and ultrasound and the radiologist thinks I will need surgery. I won’t know for sure until next Wednesday. But in my experience

CLL & Mastectomy / Implants
I'm wondering if anyone here with CLL/SLL has undergone a breast reduction or mastectomy since diagnosis. If so, were you on treatment or WW at time of surgery? If you were on treatment, did you have to stop for surgery? How was your healing? If you had a mastectomy, did you get implants after

New primary Breast Cancer! Grade three lobular triple negative! Unrelated to my MBC. Time frame for surgery?
I was diagnosed with de novo MBC in November 2018 and no lump was found. So started on Ibrance and Letrozole as my first line of treatment. I recently felt a large lump in my breast appear almost overnight and mentioned it at my oncology appointment a few weeks later. I was then booked in for a biopsy

Third episode of persistent AF in 6 months
I had a successful cardioversion on Christmas eve and then another one just 4 weeks ago. Gutted because I went into persistent AF again yesterday. I take Edoxaban and have tried to take Flecainide but it makes me dizzy and very sick. I tried the "pill in pocket " yesterday but it did not work.

Pacemaker risky
I wonder if anyone else out there has had a double mastectomy? I qualify for a pacemaker (ef 38) but my Cardiologist thinks it’s a bit dodgy as I have no lymph glands under my arms now. The risk is infection. Since I haven’t seen my Cardiologist for 3 years because of Covid I suppose he can’t be too

Tamoxifen - side effects
Hi, I had a single mastectomy in Feb 2022. I started Tamoxifen about 17 days ago. So far hot sweats. Most people I speak to don't have many side effects. i have lots of visits to the loo but no major diarrhoea. I wondered how others have got on and if and when side effects settled. I have IBS and

CT Scan Results
Hi ladies, I have my coffee and read every morning all questions but barely ask questions. Today I have a question, I’m in Canada and get my basic 15 minutes with my oncologist. When I leave I ask for a copy of CT scan results. This time when I read it, all it mentioned was previous evidence of mastectomy

New to the group
Hi, KIATEAL here. Just learned of local recurrence. Pet and bone scan to follow. Not sure whether I’m in the right forum. Followed a link while checking out Letrozole. No chemo/radiation etc so far. Surgery and Care Oncology Protocol only. Now 1 1/2 year later local recurrence after mastectomy. Waiting

Levothyroxine breast cancer
My mum has just been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I was just looking into levothyroxine and risk of long term use and breast cancer in woman was one of them. I’m now worried about the risk of cancer. Although I’ve had a double mastectomy because I’m trans I still have some breast tissue remaining
