Oophorectomy post-menapausal?
Hello! I'm new here and found this site because I was looking for information on ovary removal post-menapausal. My mother died from OC and my sister and I have had stage 0 breast cancer. I have tested positive for a defective RAD50 gene and probably should have my ovaries removed before it is too

Vitamins and supplements
Some advice needed about the timings of taking vitamins, supplements and how they might react with prescribed drugs. The prescribed meds I take daily are 2 x 200mg Hydroxy, 2 x 30mg Lanzoprazole, 2 x Adcal-D3. I've been having loads of GI problems since my cholecystectomy last year (bile reflux as well

Next steps? Full/partial hysterectomy
So, home from diagnostic lap and they found endo mainly around my ovaries. I was also meant to have a hysteroscopy and polypectomy and have coil fitted but they couldn't do these three things as my cervix was blocked with fibroids (they hadn't mentioned fibroids on my scan). The surgeon said there are

Severe endo. Choice of ovary removal or bowel surgery
Had quite a shock when I went back to my surgeon this week. He confirmed my diagnosis was severe endometriosis. I had though it was mild to moderate. He had warned me of the need for more surgery which I hadn't been keen on. I had started to brace myself for this bowel op after the sigmoidoscopy and

Crashing?
I think I'm crashing (my term for when symptoms come flooding back) but I'm not really sure. Complicating my confusion is the fact that I was in a car accident in Nov and am still dealing with concussion and whiplash symptoms.

Breast Cancer Mets to the lungs
I've had 20 chemo infusions. Body couldn't take anymore so I'm on a chemo break. I am taking the hormone inhibitor Femara, but that's it. Anyone else with similar Dx?

Ibrance, Femara , Avastin
I wonder if anyone is on this combo. What are the side effects of Ibrance? What do you do about the low WBCs? Any idea how I can detect lung blood clots, especially that I have lung mets? I am scared that the side effects are going to kill me rather than the disease itself. Pleas help me out.

Reflux and gum problems
Hey I thought I had got rid of my reflux problem only to be told that my teeth are eroding and I have gum disease. My heartburn and stomach ache have recently returned though. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also I had a endoscopy just over a year ago and that was fine, just a small inflammation

Just diagnosed with AF - Freaking out a little bit, Help?
Hi, I've just been diagnosed with Afib at 22 and don't really have a clue what's going on at the moment. It all started about eight months ago where I felt a really strong palpitation in my chest and suddenly felt sick and cold, but it was just the one. After going to A&E they couldn't determine anything
