After radiotherapy
I am due to start the first of 15 sessions of radiotherapy tomorrow and I wondered whether you have a scan a while after, like a bone scan or Some other type. I've had chemo last year, a mastectomy and having herceptin injections til October. Before any treatment started I had an MRI scan but only to

Hi, new to site
I was diagnosed August 2013, lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemo and then rads. Had reconstruction last June and second stage of recon last week. Suddenly it seems to have hit me that this may not be it - generally really positive so wondered if anyone else feels this way?

A bit scared of changing from Bisoprolol to Dronedarone.
After six months of PAF (which started after mastectomy surgery) I have fortnightly PAF lasting 12 - 14 hours and going back to NSR on it's own. I'm on 3.75 Bisoprolol and it keeps the rate down but doesn't stop attacks. All my attacks have started after food or at night when asleep. Now I'm being prescribed

Just saying hi
Hi there. I'm a 36 year old from ireland diagnosed last July. I had 2 lumpectomies & then had to go for mastectomy on left breast as they kept finding tiny tumours. Had my mastectomy in Sept . The recuperation wasn't as bad as I expected, yes I still get sore but it's bearable. I'm lucky in so far

Hiding under the duvet!!!
In need to vent my anger. Life's been down hill since 2006. Started with breast cancer & mastectomy, won that fight. But live with & got used to pain from it. Other symtoms lead to be diganoised with sle, Sjogrens, Raynards & other ailments due to Lupus. Learning to live with that. Been absent from work

Silicone and Lupus
BTW, 2 years ago I had a double mastectomy and removed every fragment of silicone infected tissue from my breast implants. My Lupus improved 70% immediately after. fast forward 2 years, the remainder of my lupus problems which included anemia, kidney disease, reoccurring plursey, definite arthritis
