Need opinion: 58 yr old, TNBC stage 2A, tumor localized
The oncologist is recommending surgery (either BCS or
Mastectomy
) and followed by chemo. I have been reading about TNBC and there are recommendations to do chemo first followed by surgery. What is the best option to choose? TIA

Had
mastectomy
and now on Ibrance and Arimedex. I asked how long I'd be on this and was told probably the rest of my life. Yuk. Hate meds. Tolerating it pretty well. Haven't heard anyone with skin mets. Can anyone add anything?

Pale, clay-coloured stools
Since my total gastrectomy 5 weeks ago my stools have been almost white. A blood test done 3 days ago showed abnormal liver and kidney functioning. Is this normal after such major op?

Removing implants!
I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has removed their implants or did not do reconstruction after
mastectomy
. I am considering removing my textured implant due to the talk of a new possible lymphoma derived from it. I only had one side done and I do not want to replace with another implant.

Slightly painful but not too bad. Then incision, tube on right testicle pulled out and snipped.(yes you do feel

Breast implant associated small cell lymphoma!
I had a saline implant post
mastectomy
in 2012. I received a letter from my plastic surgeon stating that the FDA has put out new data stating that the texture of the implant, saline and silicone can lead to this new cancer which is not related to breast cancer.

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

3DCRT Vs IMRT after Mastectomy
He also says IMRT is not recommended for
Mastectomy
cases as it would result in esophagitis. The first PET CT indicated positive internal mammary node. I am not sure what the benefit of RT without covering Internal mammary nodes despite knowing that it was positive in first PET CT.

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

Struggling
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.

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.

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.

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!
