Hand and arm swelling
After a
mastectomy
and lymph node removal in June 2014 I've developed lymphoedema in my hand and arm. I finished radio therapy at the end of nov 2014. My Lymphoedema nurse has prescribed garments which I wear religiously. She has told me that we now need to give things three months to settle down.

arm pain after breast surgery and radiation
I had a
mastectomy
with lymph node clearance 9 months ago followed by chemotherapy and radiation. I now have lymphoedema in my arm. I finished radiation 4 weeks ago. The pain in my arm is getting worse with last night a shooting pain in my thumb joint. I needed to take pain killers.

PPC cancer and considering risk reducing surgery for BRCA1 gene, help please.
I'm in the consultation stage with genetics/surgeons about a double
mastectomy
to reduce risk of Breast Cancer. I'm keen to hear from others with a similar experience. All feedback appreciated. Thank you Julie xo

Truncal and Breast Lymphedema following 2 surgeries and radiotherapy
No professional seems to be able to help ( some mention liposuction, my first surgeon thinks the only way is a
mastectomy
), has anyone tried the pentoxifylline-vitamin E combination to rid of radiation fibrosis?

Little bit scared..
I think I gave you my history on my first post so I wont repeat it all, although I did`nt say then that I had been thru Breast cancer, had double
mastectomy
and round the same time had lots of infections. Feeling well now so am hoping for a bit of good news, but bit worried at the same time.

How long must I wait before I can be referred for IVF?
I've got a diagnosis of Stage IV endometriosis and have had 2 laps with both ovarian cystectomy and excision of endometriosis. I'm about to have my merina coil removed as I am getting married in 3 weeks time and we want to start trying for a baby ASAP. 2 years ago after my second lap and GnRH treatment

Gall bladder removal
I had to have my gall bladder out last year, and since then my IBS has got rather worse. I've been reading about our gut bacteria and all that and wonder if having my gall bladder out is the cause for my bloating and diarrhoea since then. Any suggestions as to what would help? Can't put the GB back

educating the educated
As someone quite new to these forums, despite 20 years of being hypothyroid, thanks to Hashimoto's, the common theme throughout is how ill-educated and uninformed GPs and even many endocrinologists are in the realities of living with and treating this condition. Surely there must be something we can
