Pay attention to your nipples! They might be trying to tell you something.
I was scheduled for a simple
mastectomy
, and the final biopsy was clear for my margins and 5 lymph nodes. Other than a complication that led to a skin infection, I have had a complete recovery without radiation, chemo, or lymphedema.

Against the clock!
Mr PB30 i have been informed that I need to lose 6 stone before I can have a gaul bladder removal operation. I had an operation last year to remove 30 gaul stones from my bike duct. Anyway the clock is ticking. Say I manage to lose 2 lbs a week: that's 42 weeks! I may have to undergo the first operation

Now 2 weeks 2 days after the
mastectomy
And back from a delicious seafood lunch down at the harbour in Shell Bay with family . Coming home there’s a cushion under my arm where the drain was so guess it’s fluid gathered there , so will get someone to check it out .

Chemo to start soon
The
mastectomy
seems to be healing well and the strict vegan diet is a pain but is helpful in so many ways . Yes I do long for a steak and chips , creamy yogurt and cake but am managing to resist ( just).

Triple negative diagnosis
This time a
mastectomy
and then two out of four chemos so far... Complete with two lots of nutrpenic sepsis!! Haven't spoken to my onc yet but her nursing practitioner hinted at chemo may not continue and then the specialist nurse rang to say the same.

I can’t it up after vasectomy
I am disappointed after vasectomy, I seem to suffer from sexual dysfunction. Its been 4 months since I had vasectomy I have not had real sex, I am embarrassed, disappointed and feel hopeless in that I can’t satisfy my wife anymore, what should I do?

Prepectoral, immediate, direct to implant surgery
Hello, Has anyone had this type of
mastectomy
and immediate above the muscle reconstruction? I live in a small town in North Carolina and I am finding it hard to find a surgeon/patients who have had experience with this procedure. Thank you very much.

Refusing Chemo
Going for a
mastectomy
in a couple weeks. They want me to have chemo along with herceptin and perjeta which kills off the her2 protein. I absolutely refuse to have chemo but I will have the herceptin and perjeta infusions.

New to Health Unlocked
I had a
mastectomy
, chemo, and five years each of Tamoxifen and Femara. Everything was fine until February 2018, when a biopsy of my underarm lymph nodes confirmed the recurrence and spread on the same side as before.

Reconstruction after implant infection.
I had surgery in July for a left breast reduction and right breast
mastectomy
with an implant. The surgeons performed lymph nodes and nipple biopsy to test to see if the cancer had spread and I was relieved to hear that it was all clear.

Estradiol & PCa.
New French study. Nalakrats will get a kick out of this one. "Our objective was to assess the concentration levels of sex steroids in prostatic tissue and serum, in two cohorts of patients with localized PCa or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)."

Hi I’m new 😁
I had a double
mastectomy
in August and was told that was all I would need. However on removal of my breast tissue they found another lump at grade 3. I have now been told that that is triple negative and I am having to start chemotherapy and radiotherapy which I’m really nervous about.

Ibrance break once NED for surgery ?
I’m thinking of having a Breast reduction on my non affected side to rebalance smaller implant on my
mastectomy
side.

N. E. D. on Ibrance
I had cancer 12 years ago,, had a double
mastectomy
, removed the sential node. In October of 2017 I found a pea-sized lump under my right arm. Biopsy showed breast cancer had returned. Scan showed breast cancer in my liver, metastatic. My oncologist started me on ibrance and letrozole.

Finally an improvement.
It is now over 8 years since I had a total Gastrectomy and finally I'm enjoying my food with no ill effects. Gone is the dumping syndrome, reflux etc. Now I'm concentrating on regaining lost weight. My early morning breakfast consists of a half can of baked beans washed down with a cup of coffee. I'm

Good scan results today ! 🙂
I had a right
mastectomy
/reconstruction and axillary clearance with 16/18 positive nodes on one side . My next decision is whether to go for Breast reduction on my non affected side to rebalance ?... So to any ladies just starting with ibrance hang in there ! 😘
