New diagnosis
Needing further surgery for Dcis as the margins were not clear. The shock of being told that although it's non invasive but still may need a mastectomy has really thrown me. It's been a week since the diagnosis and I feel like I'm in a daze.

My journey
I was first diagnosed with DCIS 10 years ago. Unfortunately after 2 operations they hadn't cleared the margins so I was told I needed a mastectomy. This was a huge shock as it was the first time it had been mentioned, and all the way through I was told it was curable, so I thought one operation would

Hello, this is my first post. I hope you don't mind if I summarise my cancer history, starting with breast cancer (lumpectomy + radiotherapy) in 1985, mastectomy in 2006, and removal of a chest nodule in 2009. Then the real whammy: diagnosis of ovarian (or peritoneal?) cancer in July 2013. No surgery

Five years post T/G
It''s a little past five years since I've had a total
Gastrectomy
and at times I still suffer with dumping syndrome and reflux. Before the operation I was a healthy 140lbs weight, now I'm less than 126lbs. I've always lived a fit lifestyle and am presently running half an hour early each morning.

Progress
After intensive tests, consultations and an iron infusion I have decided to go ahead and risk having a mastectomy with removal of some lymph nodes. The communication between my Rehumatologist, surgeon anaesthetist, diabetic nurse specialist and breast care nurses I do feel the best way forward is a mastectomy

Can you recommend top breast cancer specialists in the UK?
Hi there, my best friend's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 weeks ago. They found 2 lumps in one breast, both grade 1, and she has been recommended a mastectomy ASAP.

I feel so much for you with regards to the heat. I can only agree with you the vasculitis does get worse. I have to manage it by using electric fans I have one on in the lounge during the day and I have another in the bedroom at night. There are many draw backs but some nights I have to change the sheets

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The options have been discussed with me and my husband also my consultant Rheumatologist The first option was a mastectomy but due to my other medical conditions that for the time being is not an option plus chemo,radiotherapy and some of the hormone drugs.
