Questions..
Hey all just came back to work and university which has been helping me distract myself. Thank you all for the kind messages. Now I have a question. My mom was told she had multifocal invasive breast cancer, and they also told us it was a rare type. Oncologist says it is kind of random how she was checked

Reconstruction Expanders
In 10 days scheduled to have a mastectomy, lymph node, and expander put in. Is the expander very painful- have heard mixed things? I am very thin and small-breasted and putting a foreign object w/ a piece of metal under my chest muscle sounds horrible :( Thanks for any feedback

Surgery with an auto immune disorder
Good morning all Some issues have come to light in my family recently which mean I may be eligible for a BRCA ( it’s the gene mutation which increases the risk of breast cancer amongst others) test. It seems to me that the worst possible outcome would be to agree to the test, be tested positive but then

Mastectomy or Not?
I have been troubled with just overthinking my Onc plan for my path going forward. I trust that she is making decisions with my best interest in mine, I google a lot and sometimes that can be a nightmare. To explain, I was slated to have my mastectomy on my left breast where the tumor is located. Just

Phlegm when eating
I had total
gastrectomy
in January due to cancer. Things have been ok since, able to eat little and often. However the past few days I feel like I’m having spasms in my oesophagus/throat, it happens at random times and is a little worse when eating.
