Mastectomy or Not?
To explain, I was slated to have my
mastectomy
on my left breast where the tumor is located. Just before my surgery, the breast surgeon ordered a bone scan and it was then found that the cancer had metastasized. Immediately surgery was placed on hold.

Surgery with an auto immune disorder
Has anyone had surgery such as a
mastectomy
or hysterectomy since having RA or equivalent? Was this an issue? For example was recovering more difficult? Or was the operation itself more of a challenge?

Vasectomy query
Hi. I'm a new member. Oh. Pardon the pun! I had a vasectomy in 2013 that at the time was apparently successful. I've recently tried to get my copy of the letter from my GP. However they haven't got it on file, does anyone know where a copy would be stored? I tried to contact the clinic I had the procedure

Post Vasectomy issues
vasectomy issues, reading the internet before the procedure I should not notice much difference after. 1) ejaculations are now watery. 2) Orgasm's have highly reduced in strength. Is this correct?

Double Mastectomy with reconstruction using tissue expanders
Thus, the risk reduction double
mastectomy
choice for my daughter. However, because of her slight frame and lack of extra muscle or fat, and not enough skin from constructing a new breast, she will have to have the tissue expanders before she can have even the smallest implants.

RECENT EPISODE on 24 January 2020
Though I had experience of knocking sensation before but last Friday's episode was really dreadful after my dinner. On sitting I felt a pressure on mid-chest area, it was something like I have been locked from inside and can get relief if I have some belching. Noted the BP which was high 180/70 HR 78

Upcoming mastectomy and genomics
After consideration, my onc feels it is best for me to have a
mastectomy
, my right breast only. I am nervous about that and will probably set the surgery up for January.

Possible preventative mastectomy
Iโm now considering preventative double

Smaller pancreas than normal
Hi, my thoracic surgeon advised me yesterday that my pancreas is smaller than normal. I had total gastrectomy 6 months ago and I have been having some pain after eating. Does anyone know if I am not producing enough enzymes, causing issues to gain weight?

Treatment With Intramuscular Levothyroxine in Refractory Hypothyroidism
Given the regular appearance of patients who appear unable to tolerate levothyroxine, I thought this paper had the potential to be very interesting. And indeed the abstract is fascinating - as far as it goes. The full paper will be accessible in PubMed Central from 01/06/2020. [i]Eur Thyroid J, 8 (
