Finished with all surgeries, finally!!!
I finally had my care transferred to the University of Iowa Hospital and after a lot of review of my case the decision was to have unilateral
mastectomy
due to "radiation effect" (healthy breast tissue had been badly damaged by the aggressive radiation.

Anastrozole
I’ve recently been diagnosed with lobular carcinoma and am having a double
mastectomy
on Thursday. Last week was my first visit with an Oncologist. I started taking anastrozole on Wednesday. Today I feel like I’m coming down with a cold. Is this a side effect from the medication?

Eczema around wound site
Hi everyone, I had a single

Lymphodena / MLD / Factor V Leiden
Wondered if anyone knows if MLD is ok with Factor V, I recently had four sessions five months after
mastectomy
- I have arm and trunk swellings but ankle and leg have now swollen as well after the MLD and I had 10 days of extreme pain under scar which is thankfully subsiding.

F.D.A. Approves First Home Testing for 3 Breast Cancer Mutations, With Caveats
The warnings also state that the tests should not substitute for visiting a doctor, and that tests confirming the results must be carried out before making medical decisions on treatment, such as anti-hormone therapies, or on prophylactic options like
mastectomy
or removal of the ovaries.

My Mastectomy Tattoos
Hi- Am getting chest tattoo w/ birds, butterflies, flowers. (My implants were removed, so I'm living flat now.) I want to add a saying as well. Which of these sound better? Thanks for your input! "My breasts do not define me as a woman." Or "My beauty is not defined by my breasts." -Seena

Hi. My name is Dena. I have PBC.
I took this photo this morning after breakfast of my skin on my arms and hands. I also have these bruised and torn skin areas on my face, neck, and chest. I've mentioned before about having extreme itching and this is what I get when I scratch. I try to keep my fingernails cut short so I don't rip or

Feeling totally confused
I wonder if anyone could offer any advice? I’ve always had pretty heavy periods but they were fairly regular. I have an almost 10 year old but came off the pill 7 years ago to ttc number 2 - never had any success but was diagnosed with “unexplained secondary infertility”. Fast forward to last summer
