How long does it take to recover form laparoscopic cystectomy?
Hi everyone, had my 2nd lap 3 weeks ago. And still in pain. I have stage 4 endometriosis, I still can't walk properly, feel tired all the time and in pain. I thought I would be better now. How long did it take you to feel better after surgery? Thanks

3 days on bisoprolol and no symptoms of PAF!
Also had breast cancer 8 years ago,
mastectomy
, chemotherapy and Herceptin infusions. Everything I have read leads me to believe that my AF may be drug-induced.

Has anyone had bladder endometriosis that has actually penetrated the bladder wall and is inside?
I have stage 4 endo with massive bladder involvement. The endo is inside my bladder, not just outside. I have been speaking to various surgeons, including a couple of urologists who both say that it is too difficult to excise because of where it is- trygone area, close to the ureters. I have been offered

Extended period/perimenopause question
Hi, Sorry if I haven't picked the correct board or forum to pose this question to. I 'think' I'm going through the start of or am already in the menopause. My periods for the last 2-3 years have been odd in as much as they will be regular but stop completely for a day or two around day 5 then recommence

Should I bin my dysfunctional parents?
Then my mother had to have a
mastectomy
due to breast cancer. I decided to go and see my father to make amends as I was worried about my mother. I was forced to apologise to him and he said I was the reason my mother got cancer - all the stress!

Affects of levotyhroxine and anastrozole for breast cancer
I had
mastectomy
nearly 2 years ago and ended up in hospital during chemo and nurses kept giving me all my tablets together in morning, along with my folic acid tablet and vitamin D tablet. Reading your blog, I notice people seem to take thyroxine at night.

How is lymphedema diagnosed?
I had a double
mastectomy
. Soon after my arms swelled up and I was diagnosed with lymphedema. I wear arm sleeves. I am now battling cellulitis on my legs. I am on week 5 of both antibiotics and penicillin. My legs are extremely swollen where I don't have the soreness.

Swollen hand
I've had arm lymphoedema following a
mastectomy
, for 2 years now. It was diagnosed later rather than sooner so had chance to get a good hold, despite my protestations.
