Stretch post op
Hi I'm 15 weeks post gastrectomy and I've started to notice that some food isn't going down as well as it did and it feels a little...uncomfortable (I wouldn't go as far to call it painful). My Gi nurse told me this might happen and not to panic as it will probably mean I need a stretch. Phoned for

Soy Products & Triple Neg BC
I have TNBC, had double
mastectomy
, finished chemo and am on Arimidex. Not that I love soy or tofu, but so many products are made with soy derivatives. I don't eat any of the processed soy products. What about tempeh & seitan?

Rib pain and crazy looking implants after double mastectomy
Had a double
mastectomy
and overall, am doing pretty good. I wasn't expecting my ribs to hurt so much! Is this normal? I feel like I was in car accident! It is a very weird pain. Also, my implants are so high and tight! My cleavage is at my clavicle bone :-).

Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Went through 6 cycles of chemo, radiotherapy and a
mastectomy
surgery. All went well and treatment was over in September 2016. I feel bloated though there is no swelling and i have recently started having blurry vision which doesn't last long. Is there something to worry about?

Nipples are scary looking after surgery
I had a nipple sparing
mastectomy
13 day ago. The doctor told me my nipples were stressed and not happy, and to apply antibiotic ointment twice a day. They look black and one is peeling. I am taking arnica pills and still on antibiotics. Is this normal?

Seeking Surgery & Chemo Advice Please
I'll have surgery (double
mastectomy
with no reconstruction) in a couple of weeks, followed by chemo and radiation. Because I was treated with andriamycin for soft tissue sarcoma six years ago, my chemo will instead likely be Taxotere/Cytoxan. Any helpful advice for me for the surgical experience?

Emotional side of vasectomy
Thinking about getting the snip and going through an unexpected range of emotions. There is a lot of "don't be a big baby it is only a snip" which only focuses on the surgery. And what about afterwards? I am human too and it is my body so respect me even if chilbirth is a lot birth.

Vasectomy choices
I'm due for my snip consult with NHS. Can I choose what method is used? Open or closed, scalpel or no scalpel?
