Casting Call for Breast Cancer Charity
Hello everyone, We're casting for a tv ad for a fantastic charity raising awareness about breast cancer. I'm looking to speak to women who have undergone a mastectomy and are currently breast feeding. Please get in touch if you would like more information. x Chris

Removing implants!
I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has removed their implants or did not do reconstruction after mastectomy. I am considering removing my textured implant due to the talk of a new possible lymphoma derived from it. I only had one side done and I do not want to replace with another implant. How

Breast implant associated small cell lymphoma!
I am wondering if anyone is confronted with this. I had a saline implant post mastectomy in 2012. I received a letter from my plastic surgeon stating that the FDA has put out new data stating that the texture of the implant, saline and silicone can lead to this new cancer which is not related to breast

Cancer cells returned in juncture of joining,after total gastrectomy.
Had difficulty swallowing, yet again, so endoscopy requested. They took biopsies and sadly turns out cancerous cells have been found. CT scan thankfully did not find anything so PET scan was done today. Now got to wait 4-5 days for those results. I am wondering if the cancerous cells could have been

Breast Implants possibly the cause of my Connective Tissue Disease!
Hi all, I need to first thank Eekt (thank you! thank you!), who brought this to my attention by posting an article on this site about 4 months ago regarding the links between breast implants and autoimmune diseases. Since that time, there has been a flood of new information, not least of which is an

Temporary Stop to running...
Treatment will be confirmed on Thursday but it’s likely to be aggressive chemo, surgery for complete
gastrectomy
, followed by more chemo. I’m utterly bewildered as I’ve never smoked, have 2 drinks max per week and eat pretty much healthily.

EP in Wales
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good EP/Cardiologist in South Wales. I moved to Wales about 18 months ago and have had several health issues since. Unfortunately I've been really disappointed - well actually appalled, at the NHS in Wales. I had an ablation about 2 plus years ago at Bristol

Need some moral support please
I’m a healthy 63 year old — but for the darn MBD dx June 2018! I still bicycle etc. When I was first diagnosed stage 2 with mastectomy in 2004, I prayed I’d see our daughter through high school. When I was diagnosed stage 3 in 2014, her first year of college, I was thrilled to watch her graduate last

How do I know
I was diagnosed with stage IIIb lobular carcinoma in April of 2011. I had health insurance under the expanded Medicaid (thanks to the ACA) after 7 years of no coverage thanks to my pre-existing condition (thyroid cancer in 1999). I went through a lumpectomy followed by mastectomy, 6 months of chemo,

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.

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
