Mastectomy, lymph node removal stage 3 advice
Hi everyone. I had mastectomy and lymph node removal done and had swelling in my arm. Went for advice to a lymphodaema clinic and was told how to massage, exercise and was given a arm stocking to reduce the swelling. I found that keeping my weight down to a normal level and exercising helped. Also

Here it is Ladies - As promised
I have decided to share my mastectomy tattoo a tad earlier than plannedasI am so happy with it. You will see the bottom right blossoms need to be coloured in. That is happening in 4 weeks time. Now on my phone the image is upside down 😲 I hope it looks the right way up in the site for you all. I have

Silicone found in lymph nodes
Hi, in March I had a lumpectomy. My lymph nodes were clear of the cancer but they found silicone granulmas in 4 out of 5 nodes. This must have come from a silicone implant on the other side ( I had a mastectomy and reconstruct in 1999 ) and this was replaced in 2014. The ultrasound confirmed numerous

How I Survive the Worst Day of the Year (Every Year)
Hello All, I don't write as much for Ravishly as I'd like--they have a big backlog, often a few months long, and my writing focus is in different places these days. I am so grateful they gave breast cancer "a voice" through my blog posts...more than a dozen of them. Here is my latest Ravishly article

Ca125 up again
Hi everyone, Haven't been on in awhile but now my blood work came in yesterday, 3 months after another bloodwork. 3 months ago my ca125 was at 181, now it is 677. My oncologist has me scheduled for a CT scan next week to see if anythings there. I just had a CT 2 months ago and it was clear. I don't

Pain after total gastrectomy
Hi It's coming up on 4 weeks since I had my stomach removed, and just over a week since I was discharged from hospital. In many ways I would say I'm progressing well, especially in terms of food intake and what my new plumbing seems to be able to handle even at this early stage. My worry is that i am

It's back, it's nothing, it's back, it's nothing
I'm nervous. There is intermittent pain in my left breast, where before there was no sensation. I had a double mastectomy back in July of 2014 for stage 1 TNBC. The pain is in the region where the tumor was. Is this phantom? Could my nerves be reconnecting? I had to beg my insurance company to be seen

Huntington's Disease, the Pope.
Alright, it isn't our disease, but like a lot of stuff I post this is tangentially related. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/may/27/huntingtons-disease-pope-steps-in-to-raise-awareness It all goes to show the power of a high profile acknowledgement. Akin to when Princess Diana held the hand

Rib pain and crazy looking implants after double mastectomy
I am 3 weeks post op. Had a double mastectomy and overall, am doing pretty good. I wasn't expecting my ribs to hurt so much! Is this normal? I feel like I was in car accident! It is a very weird pain. Also, my implants are so high and tight! My cleavage is at my clavicle bone :-). I feel them pulling

Soy Products & Triple Neg BC
I may have asked this question before, but does eating soy products really matter anymore? I have TNBC, had double mastectomy, finished chemo and am on Arimidex. Not that I love soy or tofu, but so many products are made with soy derivatives. I don't eat any of the processed soy products. What about

Any experience, suggestions regarding brain metastases found 8 months after having oesophagectomy.
My husband had his oedophago-
gastrectomy
(adenocarcinoma) 8 months ago(Sep 2016). He had been recovering quite well until past month. Then some seemingly minor problems with right side of body, weakness, drop foot, some tremors, memory problems started to appear.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer
I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in Jan 2016. Went through 6 cycles of chemo, radiotherapy and a mastectomy surgery. All went well and treatment was over in September 2016. I feel bloated though there is no swelling and i have recently started having blurry vision which doesn't last

Seeking Surgery & Chemo Advice Please
I've just been diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer which already spread to a lymph node. I'll have surgery (double mastectomy with no reconstruction) in a couple of weeks, followed by chemo and radiation. Because I was treated with andriamycin for soft tissue sarcoma six years ago, my chemo will instead

Food is a bad four lettered word!
My husband is 7 months post op for an extended total
gastrectomy
after cancer was found in the cardia. I wouldn't say he sailed through everything, but he tolerated the ECX pre and post op quite well and recovered from the surgery very quickly.

Nipples are scary looking after surgery
I had a nipple sparing mastectomy 13 day ago. The doctor told me my nipples were stressed and not happy, and to apply antibiotic ointment twice a day. They look black and one is peeling. I am taking arnica pills and still on antibiotics. Is this normal?
