IVF/ICSI Abroad??
We are unable to have IVF/ICSI on the NHS as my husband has had failed vasectomy reversal. Private treatment here in the UK seems unattainable for us due to cost. Has anyone had IVF/ICSI abroad? I've been looking at Poland, Czech Republic and Madrid. I was just looking for anyone who has had fertility

Breast Implants possibly the cause of my Connective Tissue Disease!
Having already gone through breast cancer in 2012, bi-lateral
mastectomy
and reconstruction; and now having a disease of the immune system, I can tell you that all my hairs are standing.

Vasectomy and PCa: a 38-year nationwide cohort.
New Danish study below. I have been following the vasectomy-PCa link for 15 years. At diagnosis my vasectomy was already 25 years in the past. It seems to me that the cancer link to vasectomy has been deemed to be unacceptable. What would happen if men throughout the world refused vasectomies? One

Do any of you regret your
mastectomy
I feel this is what I should do. It’s not like I just woke up one day and said hmm I think I’ll have my breasts taken off. It’s not been an easy decision.

Mammograms
I’ve had a partial
mastectomy
of my right breast, chemo and radiation in 2005. It metastasized to both lungs in 2016. I had massive chemo again. Now I’m on Letrozole and Ibrance and everything is stable. But I wanted to get a mammogram/sonogram since I have breast tissue.

Need some moral support please
When I was first diagnosed stage 2 with
mastectomy
in 2004, I prayed I’d see our daughter through high school. When I was diagnosed stage 3 in 2014, her first year of college, I was thrilled to watch her graduate last June before my latest dx.

How do I know
I went through a lumpectomy followed by
mastectomy
, 6 months of chemo, 6 weeks of radiation and 5 years of Letrozole. It’s a 200-mile round trip for treatment. In 2017 I lost my Medicaid coverage. I now have insurance through my work, but my deductible is $5,000 and $500 a month in premiums.

EP in Wales
I had an ablation about 2 plus years ago at Bristol Royal Infirmary which seemed to be successful until I had a
mastectomy
in January 2018 since then I've had a few lengthy (2 weeks) episodes of AF. My local A&E is scary, like a third world country!

Should I stop prolia?
Have been on prolia injections for 5 years since breast cancer and double
mastectomy
followed by 3 months of chemo. Next Prolia Due 7/2019. Wasn’t informed of possible side effects but have been researching prolia past 9 months due to feeling like “crap” with no obvious explanation.

Immediate Reconstruction Worries
I had a bilateral
mastectomy
on 03/14/2019 with immediate reconstruction of cohesive silicone implants. My implants are tight, pinching on one side and the other side I can feel the implant in on the side of my rib/chest wall. I need to note I am a obese female. My implants also hang low.

Latest outcome from Lu177 treatments
I had no brothers, but had two sisters, one died from Oa, other survived after double
mastectomy
. My father's mother died maybe from Oa and dad dies from melanoma, so plenty cancer in my family on my fathers side of family.

Dumb question?
Has anyone, or some one you know, turned down curative total gastrectomy when offered? I know it is the only hope of a cure.

Life after mastectomy
I'm looking for this who had a
mastectomy
and can share best bras, sports bras, swimsuits, and breast forms. I had one breast removed in Dec 2017. I do not care for the silicon prosthetic I was given. Bras do not stay in place.

Young mum with advanced gastric cancer, which was misdiagnosed for 7 months as I didn’t fit the profile of the average gastric cancer patient. Now going for PIPAC in Europe, which is aerosol chemo to the peritoneum with the objective of holding back peritoneal spread and potentially putting me back in

Surgery
Starting next week I am having to do a 2 week pre operation diet. This consists of either 4 pints of semi skimmed a day or up to 1000 calories worth of low fat yogurt. The diet is to shrink my liver before gaul bladder removal surgery. I am anxious: I want to get it right. I am not sure what option to

BCS or Mastectomy
Oncologist is asking us whether we want breast conservative surgery or
Mastectomy
. They need to fix some metallic marker in case of BCS. I invite suggestions or pros and cons of both!
