Non-cyclical Breast Pain/ Mastalgia & Hypothyroidism: supplementing with Iodine, Progesterone, etc.
I’ve had a search through this forum and found a few posts regarding links between breast and thyroid issues. I take 75mcg T3 and 75mcg T4. You may remember my last blood tests (posted here late last year) which made my GP cross, as they showed I’d gone and self-medicated with T3 - despite him saying

My original cancer was stage 1; very small tumor in right breast; I opted for double
mastectomy
and had no sign of cancer in sentinel nodes on both sides, nor in remaining breast tissue following removal of both breasts. I had no follow-up treatment, due to "perceived" nominal risk at time.

Mastectomy completed
Well I went into hospital on Monday and had the
mastectomy
and axilliarry clearance that morning and was chucked out out on Tuesday as is the way nowadays. I was lucky enough to get a bed in the private wing as the main hospital was full. Now at home I am as weak as a kitten so am taking it easy.

Hyperparathyroidism and breast cancer
I am post
mastectomy
and now on Tamoxifen but the GP and the oncologist have referred me to an endocrinologist now to check my parathyroid glands. I'm also due a bone scan.

Is this lymphedema?
After lumpectomy,
mastectomy
I had chemo followed by radiotherapy for 6 weeks. I went back to work shortly after finishing radiotherapy, it proved too soon and I didn't feel good so took another 2/3 mths off.

Today is six years since my initial surgery for a left sided
mastectomy
. I remember feeling scared, confused and unsure if my future. I was relieved when the surgery was over and then began the battle!

23 years breast cancer survivor, just found small lump.
This week I notice what I thought was the eczema on my
mastectomy
scar. On closer examination I feel it is not eczema as it is not a rash as such, just a redness of the skin on the scar.

Chemotherapy medicine with lesser side effects
She had
mastectomy
done last week. So she will know of the treatment only next week after her stitches are removed. I would like to know if there is any chemotherapy medication available now that has lesser side effects, so that we can ask the doc for the same.

Lap on Thursday - very anxious!
Hi all, I think I’ve bored everyone now, but my lap is on Thursday and am scared shitless!! I will have complete excision (except bowels if they are affected) and partial cystectomy because the endo pierced my bladder badly! I’m scared of being out for many hours, of the catheter pain, of having a bag

Just starting ibrance
I was originally diagnosed in 2002 and had a bilateral
mastectomy
and then in 2006 it moved to my bone and had 28 rounds of radiation. 11 years with no evidence of cancer then in August it reared its ugly head. I am not on ibrance and Letrozole.

Breast seroma
Had
mastectomy
in August and 3 months on I have developed seroma. I have had it drained 3 times, but it just keeps returning. I have 3 more weeks of chemo to complete then I will have radiotherapy in the new year. Will they still continue with my radiotherapy plan with my seroma still being there?
