They are the same ones I had to do after the mastectomy 2 years ago. I haven't been given any information or advise about tummy exercises. I'm hunched

Mom detected with invasive ductal carcinoma
First when my mom told me about the lump, I took her for checkup followed by mammography appointment and FNAC test which created suspicion for cancer. Next was going to a surgeon for removal and during that procedure there was a frozen section report which confirmed cancer (Invasive ductal carcinoma)

Dumb question?
Has anyone, or some one you know, turned down curative total
gastrectomy
when offered? I know it is the only hope of a cure.

Reconstruction without expanders
Greetings Everyone! I had a mastectomy of my left breast in Dec 2017. At the time all I could think about get rid of the cancer! I said I wasn't interested in implants, however my surgeon said he left some skin in case I changed my mind. So now over a year later, I cannot stand the prosthetic breast

Lymph Node Transfer
Hi there! I am new to this site and looking for some advice. Since having a mastectomy and node clearance for BC almost five years ago, I developed lymphedema of the arm which has gradually got worse (almost 70% increase :-( ) I have been fortunate to be listed on the NHS for a lymph node transfer

Stomach cancer confirmed
1)
Gastrectomy
if the surgeon is willing to take the risk at my age, being over 80, though I am generally still quite fit and active. 2) Chemotherapy. Its not a cure I have been told.

Greetings from my right breast
Hi all, I'm 55 and my father's sister died of breast cancer in her 40s or 50s and my mother's mother was successfully treated for it in her 60s (full mastectomy both sides with lymph nodes). In a couple of weeks I am getting my first ever needle biopsy on a mass I have had since say 10 or 11, as well

CLINICAL TRIAL w/ ALISERTIB
After 4 cycles of Ibrance along w/ Fulvestrant injections another tumor appeared in my left breast that continues to grow. The 1st tumor that I discovered initially in that breast went away after 16 rounds of intravenous chemo in 2017. A mastectomy was not done as my cancer had already metastasized and

I've been following the posts and find them all helpful and inspirational. This is the first time I've posted. I had stage 1 breast cancer in 2016. A lumpectomy and 21 rounds of radiation (so it wouldn't come back). I was done, put it behind me and moved on. In March, while bathing, I noticed several
