Hi At age 32 I had a triple negative tumour removed (lumpectomy) followed by chemo and radiotherapy. Fast forward 31 years I have just had a mastectomy after I had an oestrogen positive tumour. No chemo needed-phew! The op was 3 weeks ago & I still have a large haematoma that has already been drained

Neuropathy AFTER Chemo: Treatment?
I had 14 docetaxel treatments a little over a year ago with no neuropathy. Approximately two months after completing these 14 treatments, I began to have peripheral neuropathy in my fingertips and a small amount in my toes. The neuropathy is worse at night and has continued (at about the same severity

Recent diagnosis of Ductal Invasive Breast Cancer
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with Ductal Invasive BC on the 11th July 2023. The lump was spotted on a CT scan which I had on the 5th June this year for an unrelated matter. I was lucky that it was picked up. I was referred to the Breast clinic for a mammogram on the 20th June which resulted in several

Q&A from this week's visit with our MO
In case it's helpful, I've written up the questions we asked our medical oncologist this week and posted them in my bio. The upshot of it - my husband will get a PET PSMA scan in August, after which we'll chart a course for what comes next. We're eager to see what if any results occurred from the Ra223

perspective
in 1980 when my dad was diagnosed with pc, I imagined he was dying and carried that in my head for the next nine years. When I was diagnosed with pc stage IVa in 2017 it took me a year to realize I was not dying… and since then I’ve continued to live a very good life. Now I’m facing my psa on the rise

Slight PSA increase
What would you suggest? You see my history in my bio. This June I added a second disease and was diagnosed with testicle lymphoma. Testicle has been removed, all tests (bone biopsy, lumbar puncture, Pet/CT) are clear. So well do four cycles of R-CHOP chemo and doctors are confident, that this will cure

Starting again after cancer....
So, graduation day was Feb 24, 2020. After which I ran and ran, got up to 3 half marathons. This January - diagnosis of cancer. Now it's almost August, and I have completed my treatments of Chemo and Radiotherapy. I am down to 12 stone from 14+. I am also still weak as a kitten, suffering

Compression fracture on T 10

Their is a person

Been on watch and wait with cll for over 14 years. A few years ago a different heamotologist gave me an iron infusion as he said levels were low

Swollen Legs after Chemo
I just finished ten rounds of Docetaxel for stage 4 PC. At around the 8th cycle, I noticed my legs and ankles were swollen. Now that I’ve completed the chemo, the legs/ankles are still swollen and feel very tight and heavy. My thighs have also ballooned in size. I had an ultrasound to rule out blood

Future after Erleada/Lupron
I met with a new MO today for a second opinion. I've been taking Erleada/Lupron for almost four years with few side effects (for which I'm grateful). I'm aware that my results have been very good and I wasn't looking for advice regarding a change in my care....I just wanted to have a second doctor
