Nagging ache
Had a
mastectomy
Oct 15, and it doesn’t feel right, if I lift or stretch, I get this horrible nagging feeling, in the back by shoulder blades, and sometimes it catches my breath and makes me cough, any ideas on what to do to ease this would be good.x

Gall Bladder Removal
Hi all. I have Hashi' s and PA. A recent Gastroscopy revealed stomach erosion and inflammation. I had my gallbladder removed several years ago and wondered if that had any effect on the acid balance in the stomach. Any information please.

Worst fears confirmed. 3rd cycle failure. Shuttered!
OTD came & I knew it hadn't worked. I'm so torn apart and angry. What's wrong with me. I can't even face husband, he keeps apologising for the vasectomy he did before meeting me. I think the world is making fun of me as people around me are having kids like fruits. It's time to accept my fate and I

Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer
My MRI has shown a little more breast cancer involvement, so the specialist says treatment must be a
mastectomy
, not a lumpectomy as originally thought. Although I feel if I must trade a breast for my life, it's a done deal, I still can't believe this whole situation. I feel like it's a dream.

Does normalcy exist on this journey?
There isn't a single place in me that hasn't been touched by this struggle and I am wondering if any women here could speak to how their lives have changed? I want to know if everyone is as obsessed as me! For me, it feels like every moment, every decision, from what I am eating to how I am thinking

Time for a change
I have the BRAC 2 gene and have had a
mastectomy
and full hysterectomy to give me the best chance at a long and health life but realised that despite having major surgery I haven’t got my backside up off the couch and am so unfit - it dawned on me how ridiculous this was.

My life with Cancer
So I thought that was done but in 2014 I had Breast cancer stage 2B on my right breast but they found cancer on 5 of 20 lymph nodes, so I had bilateral
mastectomy
, Chemo and radiation, so I thought I am on remission.

Chemo starts
Swimming easier and backstroke helps stretch my right arm but the
mastectomy
scar shows above my bathing suit which needs hitching up often.

New and looking for pre op advice
Hi I’m 46 and was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August and have completed 4 rounds of FLOT chemo a few weeks ago and am waiting for scan/MDT meeting to get a date for my surgery, it will either be a full or partial gastrectomy. I was fit prior to diagnosis, 9 stone 10 only 5ft 2 but was quite lean

ADENOMYOSIS PAIN help
I will more than likely go with the hysterectomy but I'm my mothers caregiver and she's waiting for a date for her
mastectomy
. I can't be down when I have to take care of her. So I'm hoping to be pain free somehow and soon.
