Swollen hand
I've had arm lymphoedema following a mastectomy, for 2 years now. It was diagnosed later rather than sooner so had chance to get a good hold, despite my protestations. Once it was diagnosed I was put in touch with a Lymphoedema Nurse Specialist and we've worked together for the past 2 years trying to

Does your chest and underarm become more stiff due to radiation?
I read tht fibrosis sets in the area where radiation is given. My oncologist has also told me so. I wish to know from those who have finished radiotherapy, what is the present condition.

Hi I have et and am on interferon a. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a right breast Mastectomy and a week later had a tia which is
thought to be caused by my blood becoming sticky during op, cancer was found in the sentel node that was removed but I can't have another op due to it being considered to risky and the only option is radiotherapy but I'm worried how this will react with my medication and about having radiotheapy. has

Total Gastrectomy
As mentioned before, my mother had a total
Gastrectomy
in May and coming along slowly. However, she seems to get a feeling of indigestion which she finds very uncomfortable - could someone please explain this and is there anything she can take for it knowing that there is no stomach?

What are the groups views on the latest research regarding preventative treatments with tamoxifen and raloxifene?
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says tamoxifen or raloxifene taken daily by high risk women for five years can cut breast cancer risk by 40%. May provide a treatment option besides mastectomy for women found to be genetically high risk. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23032371

How to cope with my mom's treatment? .
Hi Guys, First of all, thanks for the forum. It was much needed. International forums help but most of the times we cant relate to their suggestions due to unavailability of most of the items in India. My mom has been diagnosed with BC (DCIS left breast and lymph nodes, 3cm tumor). Started Chemo

Hi Everyone, I wondered about tiredness - how long does it take to recover from major ops? Its been 8 months since my last one.
I had my mastectomies last year and am now back at work getting on with my life.Understandably every ache and pain or symptom becomes a question mark about cancer. So I am trying not to get anxious about this hence this question. No chemo or radiotherapy. I feel like I haven't quite got back to my old
