Low follicles count and Size!
So I was sort of breezing through the process with a positive and laid back attitude. I had seen a couple of friends experience the highs and lows, but I thought if I was relatively relaxed I would be in better place for things to work. I have no known fertility issues but I managed to marry an older

Keep my bladder...for now
Just had interesting talk with my consultant who points out throughout my bladder cancer history (from January 2014) my Cystoscopy biopsies have been showing decreasing levels of cancer over the period. Now it shows NO CANCER. This means I can keep my bladder for now and just have further periodical

Radical Cystectomy and Neo Bladder Update.
Well, it was a week ago today since my surgery. I'm still in hospital, but feeling pretty good. The pains and soreness are subsiding, and walking around the ward at a gentle pace. The doctors are visiting daily and checking my 4 bags for outputs. The only draw back ive had was yesterday. One of the tubes

skin brushing/massage
8 weeks ago I had a
mastectomy
and 3 lymph nodes removed. As I am very swollen especially on underarm and upper arm I have become concerned about the possibility of lymphodema developing.

Emotional day yesterday
I know the option for more regular testing is good but the thought of having a bilateral
mastectomy
for both of us is just so daunting. There won't be much of me left soon if I elect to have it done.

3 Weeks Post Cryoablation
When considering having an ablation procedure, I found it quite dfficult to find other people's experiences with ablation. It wasn't until I found this site that I found some more relevant experiences that helped me decide and understand what I was in for. I had visions of my leg being hacked off to

Pain and physiotherapy
I had my
mastectomy
in November and was given physio exercises to do 3 times a day. At first, I had pain in my left arm when stretching, but I did the exercises for weeks and weeks until I had no pain at all and had full use of the arm again.

Reconstruction
I'm seeing my breast surgeon on Monday to talk about reconstruction and possible
mastectomy
on the other side. I had my first
mastectomy
and nodal clearance in June 2014 and had a skin saving implant put in at the same time so I have skin there already.

Yet more chemo 😜
Hi ladies, well I finished my A&C chemo on Wednesday, having already had T&C chemo followed by a bilateral
mastectomy
, I was supposed to have had a five week break before radiotherapy started, now it's a three week break before four sessions of CMF chemo to run alongside my radiotherapy.

Hi, I have just read a piece on Post
Mastectomy
Pain Syndrome and it accurately describes the pain I have been getting. I'm now 6 months post op. I just wondered if anyone else had heard or suffered from it.

Advice on a vasectomy!
I am 42 years old male, 7 children and twins due in July! I am considering a vasectomy and just wanted to speak to people that have been through it and get some input before going ahead with it! Like is it the best thing you have done or was it the worst thing? Any other input would be great thank you
