Help convincing surgeon
When I was officially diagnosed in sept 2019 with breast cancer ER negative HER2 positive and positive nodes. I had 4 months neojuvent chemo then due to lockdown had left breast and lymph nodes removed. This followed by a further 10 months of chemo and 20 sessions of radiotherapy. I know they removed

Hi all. Newbie here with a first time post, so hello to all! Was diagnosed in Feb this year with a gleason 9 tumor (age 54). Had a radical prostatectomy in March and while initial scans have shown no spread of the cancer, the tumor had broken through the capsule wall. PSA prior to surgery was only

Is a block semen tube a risk?
I've had a TURP and a following stricture Op as a result. Now my flow is good. But some time after the stricture Op I started getting painful ejaculations (not I have had a vasectomy 40 yrs ago). Now there is no discharge of semen at all and even though I have or had reverse ejaculation it now does not

Who else was shocked!!
I'm new here but thought I would add me current experience with MBC. I was diagnosed with BC back in 2014, had a mastectomy and only had to take Letrozole for 5 years. I thought it was a fluke and thought nothing more about it. Well, low and behold it is back!! I thought I had pulled a muscle from

Pred/adcal
Advice please - is it necessary to take Adcal when my bone profile shows good calcium levels? When I next speak to the Doc (in a months time!) Im going to ask him if he will prescribe me just Vit.D. I had supposedly high cholesterol when starting on Pred several months ago, even though no one told

Post RP Questions...
I had a robotic assisted radical prostatectomy 3 weeks ago. No urinary control issues since the catheter was removed and ED doesn't seem like it's going to be an issue at this point either. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones in that respect, Unfortunately my final pathology showed my Gleason score to

Advice needed
My Aunt had a mastectomy 4 years ago, she recently developed horrible weeping areas on the scar & a rash. The oncologist says it’s breast cancer cells but not melanoma. She has been having hormone injections for it but the area is spreading. Has anyone else experienced this & if so what was the best

Triple negative breast cancer with bone only mets
Anyone else out there with TNBC and oligometastatic bone Mets? What treatment did you get? I had 3 x stereotactic radiation and now nothing. Doctor says I have no “measurable disease “ so not eligible for any trials. Originally had 4 x TC chemo + double mastectomy and then 6 x gemcitabine + carboplatin

Lymphodoema in torso
Appear to have lymphodoema in my torso following diep flap & mastectomy surgery three years ago (as well as mildly in my arm). To have it in your torso (above bikini line) seems very unusual, does anyone else have this?

My journey with PCa
My journey started with yearly PSA test. 4.3 to 3.9 up to 4.5 at the end of 2019. At that point my urologist thought he felt something so did 6 biopsies. 3 of the biopsies contained cancer ( Gleason 7 4+3). I elected to have robotic radical prostatectomy at the end of March 2020. My prostate, semilvascial

Back in ER for second time in two months
So long story short I passed out at the beginning of May, they coughed it up to vasovagal syncope episode. Since then I get what I thought were panic attacks every time I leave the house or under high stress where I feel like I’m going to pass out. I tried Zoloft and couldn’t get passed the suicidal
