Hello and thank you
Hello everyone, thank you for being out there. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last week and I am still adapting to the news. It is difficult, but there seems to be some positive about what we know so far although what lies ahead is probably some combination of oncological therapies, endocrine treatment

What causes severe stomach pain? Upper right quadrant under right breast?
Hi I am APS anti cardolipin positive on low dose aspirin. I have terrible stomach issues and don't know the root cause. In May had a large duodenal ulcer. It was healed with medication in 5 weeks. After a colonoscopy and endoscopy they found more polyps which is not unusual for me. But they now found

Think the cancer could be back..
Just wondered if anyone out there has had cancer come back in their second breast? I am 4 years since mastectomy, chemo and 2 years since recon and now I have a lump in my 'good' breast. Had biopsies Friday and results on Tuesday - I should be calm having been through it but I'm terrified! xx

Stage IV stomach cancer at junction with oesophagus - now offered surgery
The whole MDT agreed with this and I am booked in to have a complete
gastrectomy
and the removal of the bottom part of my oesophagus in mid October 2017. I have been told that my situation is unusual and the surgeon has said that he cannot offer me a cure with the surgery.

Bisphosphonates for breast cancer.

I had a review yesterday with my Oncologist about moving on following Radiotherapy. As I am triple negative there are not many preventative

Petscan shows improvement but Ca 27-29 keeps on rising
My daughter was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer at the age of 26. She had a mastectomy, chemo therapy and radiation. Two years later, the cancer metastasized to her bones. Her oncologist started her ibrance, Fasodex and Xgeva which seemed to be the treatment recommended by several second opinion

After gastrectomy
I have suffered from acid reflux and indigestion for some time which affects my appetite. I am expecting to have a full stomach removal. I've been reading on here that's some people suffer terribly from reflux following surgery. I can't bear the thought of going through stomach removal and still suffering

Please don’t tell me how brave I am
from Kevin MD It’s 3 a.m., and I’m wide awake. I’m giddy with excitement and scared. I am 41 years old and tomorrow feels like the first day of school all over again. Only it isn’t. Tomorrow is my first day back at the hospital where I work as a surgeon. Tomorrow is also my first day back at work

Decision: Should I Do Radiation?
I had my first visit with the radiation oncologist yesterday and he’s leaving it up to me to decide if I want to undergo radiation. He said that there’s no data to show that I would receive anything but a slight benefit, and the risks would be small, so it’s a toss-up (but of course he would recommend

Recurring breast cancer after double mastectomy
Has anyone had recurring breast cancer after a double mastectomy? I had 2 different cancers in both breasts. Right breast had more lymph nodes involved. I also had chemo. This was in 2002. I'm having chest pain on right side and frightened about recurring breast cancer in chest wall. Anyone have any
