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.

Emotional day yesterday
Iv just posted about my operation news which I have no choice in having, otherwise well it isn't worth considering,  but also yesterday my older sister had her BRCA gene test result and she is BRCA 1 positive. I couldn't stop crying about it. I feel bad enough suffering with this disease and now potentially

8 weeks ago I had a mastectomy and 3 lymph nodes removed. Â As I am very swollen especially on underarm and upper arm I have become concerned about the possibility of lymphodema developing.

Alkali-reflux problems after full gastrectomy.
Does anyone know whether there are surgeons offering a valve replacement between the oesophagus and intestines following a full
gastrectomy
? Background: My husband had a full
gastrectomy
many years ago and recently had to have corrective surgery to deal with low motility.

Pain and physiotherapy
I had my mastectomy in November and was given physio exercises to do 3 times a day. Â At first, I had pain in my left arm when stretching, but I did the exercises for weeks and weeks until I had no pain at all and had full use of the arm again. Â Recently I have had pain again when stretching, even something

Hi ladies, well I finished my A&C chemo on Wednesday, having already had T&C chemo followed by a bilateral mastectomy, I was supposed to have had a five week break before radiotherapy started, now it's a three week break before four sessions of CMF chemo to run alongside my radiotherapy. I know it's

Hi, I have just read a piece on Post Mastectomy Pain Syndrome and it accurately describes the pain I have been getting. I'm now 6 months post op. I just wondered if anyone else had heard or suffered from it. I'm due to see my consultant in two weeks due to complications with pain and possible infection

Reconstruction
Hi to all. I'm seeing my breast surgeon on Monday to talk about reconstruction and possible mastectomy on the other side. I had my first mastectomy and nodal clearance in June 2014 and had a skin saving implant put in at the same time so I have skin there already. I've decided that I would also like
