Negative breast cancer
I read a lot of the blogs on here. My condition was very different. I had lung cancer in my right breast! Very few cases all over the world (30 in all?). It was small cell. I was diagnosed in June 2015 just after having a hysterectomy in the May! First I was told a mastectomy and then the oncologist

End of treatment
After being diagnosed in Nov 2015, I've been through chemo for 6 months, a mastectomy with a free tram reconstruction, delayed healing, 25 sessions of radiotherapy and now I have just two more sessions left. It'll all end on Tuesday next. I'll be on tamoxifin for 5 years, though. Somehow I'm unable to

Staging of cancer
Hi doctors, I was diagnosed with BC in Qatar, had my chemotherapy course there, came to Bangalore for mastectomy with primary reconstruction and am now undergoing radiotherapy here. I am not sure, if it is because of treatment at multiple places, but I have never got information about the stage of my

Can't stomach as much. Get it?!!
I am 2 years post op (full
gastrectomy
and partial oesophagectomy) and in the last 4/6 weeks I have developed problems in eating as much as I was used to. I never really did whole little and often thing, and could even manage a 3 course meal.

Chemotherapy
Hello everyone. My partner had a mastectomy early last June. She's due to start chemo next weeks as a "preventive" measure (stage 3). I was wondering if the 6 week wait was too long?

Feet and heel pain during chemo
Hi friends and well wishers, My mom is undergoing chemotherapy followed by mastectomy. She has completed 4 cycles with 15 days gap and 1 of the 12 weekly cycles. I wonder why she has to go through so many cycles of chemo; is this normal process? She is experiencing more pain in her heels and legs. She

Tamoxifen.
Hi everyone. A year ago on Thursday I had diep flap mastectomy and reconstruction followed by six months of chemo. I was lucky( if you can call it lucky) it hadn't moved to my lymph nodes and because my onco type score was low they said I didn't need radiotherapy.. here I am now after 4 months on Tamoxifen

Returning to work
I had a mastectomy in March and do not need further treatment. Is it wise to return to my part time clerical job while I still have swelling and stinging under my arm. I am not eligible for SSP due to insufficient contributions and have used my CSP so am now a 'kept' woman. I know the advice is always

LETROZOLE
Hi all, I had surgery last December I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. I didn't require chemotherapy nor radiotherapy and feel very fortunate. My tumour was receptive to oestrogen so I was put on LETROZOLE , my first 'brand' gave me terrible joint pain. I am taking a different brand now
