Gall bladder removal
I’ve managed my gallbladder condition for over 5 years but want to have it removed with offending stones. Can anybody tell me about their experiences, pre and post removal. I’m in very low fat diet but experience gall bladder episodes one or twice a year, when I indulge but not in the sense of a normal

After breast cancer and a
mastectomy
, chemo, and radiation and making my 5 years, I have now been told the breast cancer has moved to my liver and bones. Was taking Ibrance but apparently it stopped working. Now on Afinitor and Exemestane.

First time breast cancer patient
Two weeks ago, I had a simple
mastectomy
for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (non-invasive). I am relieved that they got all of it, but still dealing with a drainage bulb and moderate pain from an infection. Although I've had surgeries before, dealing with cancer is new to me.

pain from underarm incision
Three weeks ago I had a partial
mastectomy
, oncoplastic surgery to reconstruct that breast and lymph node removal. I'm experiencing a fair amount of pain in the underarm incision. Also experiencing a sort of zapping pain in the breast, which people say is nerve regeneration (?).

Mammogram with MBC
I’m 46 and had a
mastectomy
on my right side 7 years ago. The cancer returned in November. I wasn’t happy with the vague answer from my doctor.

Ovarian cystectomy laparoscopy missing cyst wrong side?
Just had a laparoscopy to remove a 3cm ovarian dermoid cyst. But when I came round the nurse said they didn't find the cyst.... The incision is on the wrong side of my pelvis. Could they have looked on the wrong side? Were 2 ultrasound scans wrong? Can dermoid cyst disappear? I've been having dreadful

Oncology appointment went well- decision will most likely be follow up with ultrasounds no ovaries will be removed for now.
I had my oncology appt this past wednesday. For background I had an ovarian wedge resection in July and the pathology showed serous borderline cells on my left ovary. I was referred to oncologist. I had my oncologist app in Houston Tx on Wednesday and was highly recommended here. I met the Doc and we

👽Return of the Alien 👽
I had a
mastectomy
followed by 24 sessions of Radiotherapy . I was then prescribed hormone blockers Arimidex to prevent its return . I felt achy and weak with really bad joint pain and some bowel problems so at my last oncology appointment the oncologist ordered a scan.

Infiltrating Poorly Differentiated Ductal Carcinoma. Stage 3C w/marked Lymphocytic Response/Triple Negative
I will have my new prognosis on Aug 3rd & schedule surgery to have a partial
mastectomy
and all of my lymph nodes removed on the affected side. Followed by 35 rounds of radiation everyday (exc w'ends) It's all been do-able. I worked through this entire treatment plan.

Hello, I'm new.
My first go round was 2013 -I had a right
mastectomy
(18-21 nodes removed) and T + C chemo. Stacked DIEP flap reconstruction. I couldn't tolerate hormonal therapy then so I just did chemo. Bone mets appeared last April-big tumor in my right femur. Smaller one on the left.
