Just had double
mastectomy
,then got an infection from the drainage tubes,called acintebactor, which isn't going away,as multi drug resistant. Taking a cancer Med,as I was told I wouldn't make it to two rounds of chemotherapy, which I know is due to the infection.

Bladder Removal Surgery in Las Vegas
I am currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer. Upon completion of chemo, I will need to have my bladder removed. I have decided to go with ileal conduit (stoma with bag for life) surgery rather than a neo-bladder construction. My oncologist has recommended I go

Low follicles count and Size!
So I was sort of breezing through the process with a positive and laid back attitude. I had seen a couple of friends experience the highs and lows, but I thought if I was relatively relaxed I would be in better place for things to work. I have no known fertility issues but I managed to marry an older

Over the last 3 weeks I have developed a pain where the op took place that only occurs when I stand up i.e. when my insides stretch. Anyone else experienced this?

Radical Cystectomy and Neo Bladder Update.
Well, it was a week ago today since my surgery. I'm still in hospital, but feeling pretty good. The pains and soreness are subsiding, and walking around the ward at a gentle pace. The doctors are visiting daily and checking my 4 bags for outputs. The only draw back ive had was yesterday. One of the tubes

8 weeks ago I had a
mastectomy
and 3 lymph nodes removed. As I am very swollen especially on underarm and upper arm I have become concerned about the possibility of lymphodema developing.

Emotional day yesterday
I know the option for more regular testing is good but the thought of having a bilateral
mastectomy
for both of us is just so daunting. There won't be much of me left soon if I elect to have it done.
