Should I stop prolia?
Have been on prolia injections for 5 years since breast cancer and double mastectomy followed by 3 months of chemo. Next Prolia Due 7/2019. Wasn’t informed of possible side effects but have been researching prolia past 9 months due to feeling like “crap” with no obvious explanation. Have decided to refuse

Mammograms
My oncologist doesn’t feel mammograms are necessary since I’m being treated for MBC. I’ve had a partial mastectomy of my right breast, chemo and radiation in 2005. It metastasized to both lungs in 2016. I had massive chemo again. Now I’m on Letrozole and Ibrance and everything is stable. But I wanted

Immediate Reconstruction Worries
I was diagnosed with DCIS 2/13/2019. I had a bilateral mastectomy on 03/14/2019 with immediate reconstruction of cohesive silicone implants. My implants are tight, pinching on one side and the other side I can feel the implant in on the side of my rib/chest wall. I need to note I am a obese female.

Its Back !!!
I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer back in Feb 2015 , I had chemo ,lumpectomy and radiotherapy .Although I had awful side effects I was happy to have made it through it all and hoped that as it . Sadly 4 years to the day I was rediagnosed again . This hit me like a ton of bricks and the past

Sotalol
I had an ablation in October 2016 which was successful until I had a mastectomy in January 2018 when I went into AF. Since then I have had a few episodes of AF which seem to be getting more frequent and lasting longer. I have recently seen a couple of Consultants privately and both are suggesting

Back pain after eating
I had a total
gastrectomy
3 weeks ago, so I’m aware it’s very early days and everything is probably working really hard. I’ve been doing ok, I was having a few hard days over the weekend, bloating and uncomfortable and diarrhoea.

How my AF started...
Question for all the very knowledgeable people on here: Background: I had a Sleeve
Gastrectomy
(weight loss surgery) in 2012. Extremely successful up until 3 years ago when I began to gain weight but I wasn’t eating more.

Burning pain in back
Hello everyone Been ages since I have written on here and have been doing so well until just before Christmas where I started to get a funny sensation in my back. It feels like a burning feeling deep inside (as if it is an organ) It starts on the right hand side where my bra strap is and then goes down

Question following serious medical condition
and Splenectomy, 2 Portal Shunts, surgeons turned the partial
Gastrectomy
in to a TOTAL which reduced the amount of occurrences drastically, although I still had the occasional bleed due to 'oesophageal varices'.

Life after diagnosis, surgery and treatment
Hi All! I was diagnosed in Nov 2017. I had a mastectomy in Dec 2017 followed by chemo from January to May 2018. I had HER2 so continued Herceptin until Dec 2018. Now I'm on an Estrogen blocker for 5 years and getting back to "normal". After losing most of my hair I was brave enough to go without

Life after mastectomy
Hello! I'm looking for this who had a mastectomy and can share best bras, sports bras, swimsuits, and breast forms. I had one breast removed in Dec 2017. I do not care for the silicon prosthetic I was given. Bras do not stay in place. I currently am wearing a cotton filled pocket but that won't

BCS or Mastectomy
My wife is under going Chemo for her breast cancer and surgery is to follow after Chemo 4AC + 12 Taxol, Herceptin . Oncologist is asking us whether we want breast conservative surgery or Mastectomy. They need to fix some metallic marker in case of BCS. I invite suggestions or pros and cons of both!

Hospitals
So I have had a few issues health wise. I've had thyroid cancer and many a few minor health concerns. I have 2 kids with type 1 diabetes. I've seen the inside of hospitals more than I like. Thank God I live where I do or I am sure the bills would be horrendous! I grew up with a Mom who had a brain tumour

Anastrozole and Turmeric with Pepper
I'm trying to establish if it's OK to take Turmeric/Pepper as I've been diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis and don't wish to take medication suggested by by rheumatologist - sulfasalazine. I had a mastectomy 3 years ago and currently taking Anastrozole.
