Experiences with

Mastectomy

Hi. I was diagnosed with PBC in September following a positive AMA result, despite the shock it was kind of a relief after all the worry about what could be wrong with me. I get mostly good days and a few bad days when my digestive system plays up and my bones hurt, that copled with tiredness and stomach

Michael and me ! Chapter 1 - The mirror cracks. Of late my wife Laraine has been saying that she thinks we must have broken a mirror about six years ago. Until then life for us was good. Both of us were in good jobs. My wife was and still is a solicitor and back then I was managing director

I recently had 2nd lap (all clear) and what was due to be cystectomy but turns out it wasn't an ovarian cyst wheb they got in there, then a CT scan, no cyst-I assume it burst as I spend 3 days in hosp on morphine thinking I might actually be a gonner, only to be told be a covering gynae that there's

I am 40 and had breast cancer in 2004, a bilateral mastectomy chemo and radiotherapy followed. I also had tamoxifen and zoladex. I have been trying to conceive for nearly a year without success. I am still ovulating but am unaware of the quality of my eggs.

Scar tissue is a common contributing factor to pelvic pain. The good news is: it’s an issue that’s highly treatable with PT. In this blog, I plan to give you the rundown of how scar tissue can impair the pelvic floor as well as how PT and self-treatment can successfully treat these impairments.

Hello all. Having had fibro for years, I haven't worked now for the last 11 months. Not fibro but cancer - open surgery (all clear); acute pancreatitis; gall bladder removal; more attacks; misdiagnosed escaped gall stone causing septacaemia.... that finally cleared up in June and now I am left with

I have been suffering with endometriosis for 17 years since I was 22. I had never suffered with painful periods or pms since starting my periods at 12 so to start suffering it came as quite a shock. It took them 6 years to diagnose the endometriosis and during that time they kept saying it was P.I.D

Okay, it's a deep infection and it will probably be square cut almost to te bone to be removed... but I could have been facing a double mastectomy with removal of my arm pit glands and removal of my back muscles to rebuild breast foundation surfaces... and then brest re-construcion and implants.

Hi my name is Hanna. Our journey starts with me meeting a wonderful man who had a vasectomy 8 years before meeting me. He is 12 years my senior. After falling for one another we had the vasectomy reversed but to no avail. We went on to then have our first and second round of ICSI fertility

My next door neighbour,bless her,is one of the kindest,gentlest persons you could wish to meet and to ""reward"" her for this she suffers very bad depressions,has had a double Mastectomy and has now been diagnosed with arthritis in her hips and spine and yet Sun columnist/Talkcrap presenter John Gaunt

Doumas recalls her doctor saying, "Oh, no, you don't want a mastectomy; you're just panicking." She remembers looking the surgeon in the eye and saying in a steady voice, "Do I look like I am panicking to you?" Doumas found a new surgeon and got the double mastectomy she wanted.

Appointment with my consultant at the hospital in Newcastle yesterday. Results of bone & CT scans. Tumours have appeared in my left shoulder, spine & several places in my Liver. I had a bit of warning about the Liver, but the bone was out of the blue. Explains the shoulder/back pain at least. Consultant

I'm off work at the moment as I have a very demanding job (which I love) and in my current state I am just not capable of driving the long distances required to carry it out, plus I am pretty low and exhausted with the pain. I have been suffering with severe pain in my right side for the last 3 weeks

It wasn't what I expected, no immediate surgery just a pill to try to shrink the tumours enough to aim foree the difference between a lumpectomy and the full mastectomy.

I am currently caring for my 87 year old mother, who was diagnosed with PSP last year (after also having a mastectomy, following diagnosis for breast cancer, poor thing). She is brave, dignified and to date (with my on-going care and support), able to remain in her own home.
