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.

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.

Stage 1a breast cancer

My New Keto Life......
Hi, This is my first post, although I commented on others posts and love that we have a place to go and share. I was diagnosed with breast cancer the first time at 34 years old. Since I was young and triple negative with only one node positive, I had a partial radical mastectomy and 6 months of grueling

Aliens , chemo and Cymbalta ?
This is day 7 after my first infusion last Tuesday for second recurrence in my peri Aortic lymph nodes. It's the heavy guns of Carbo / TaxoI which first zapped these aliens when I was diagnosed in 2011. NED until 2016 when it recurred in the same lymph nodes. Despite my protestations I was given Carbo

New to MBC, diagnosed early December, conflict with original oncologist. Now with one I have all the confidence in.
Went through bc and mastectomy in2003 and 2008. Fine till Mar of 2018. Thought all through 2018 needed hip replacement. Wrong MRI and all other show widespread cancer in bones, connect the dot type in spine, hips and skull. Luckily not in organs. Waiting on radiologist eval, and waiting to start Verzenio

What showed up on my scan? 🤷♀️
My latest scan showed no progression! And diminishing uptake over all in bone mets. Good news! But 2 things that were interesting and questionable were on there. First it said I had 2 healing fractures in my ribs. (News to me) And 2 I had thickening in mastectomy region similar to that produced by radiation

Stressed and emotional about surgery..
I don't know why but I get emotional and stressed when talking about the mastectomy.

New invasive on mastectomy side.
I am new to this site and to metastatic breast cancer. I had a mastectomy 12 years ago for Dcis. Unfortunately I have now fallen into the less than 2% of people who get a cancer from the less than 5% of breast tissue left behind. I found fullness and a mass in the arm pit. Anyone else have this experience

Age.... what’s age?
I decided a long time ago that age was only a number. I used to purposely leave it off my CV if I was job hunting. This wasn’t because I was precious about it but because I knew whatever age I was I could do the job, probably just as well if not better than the younger ones. People often said to me
