G’day I thought it might be useful if I briefly described my experience with Bipolar Androgen Therapy which has been discussed here in the past. In my case there was really no option but to source (apprehensively) “grey” market testosterone from the body building fraternity where there is extensive

Refusing Chemo
I am 63 and recently diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ducal carcinoma, hormone negative and HER2 positive. This is a more aggressive cancer but let’s face it, cancer is cancer. Going for a mastectomy in a couple weeks. They want me to have chemo along with herceptin and perjeta which kills off the her2

Mastectomy scheduled
After the waiting period following scans and more biopsies I’m having a radical mastectomy on Monday . The consultant said the scan showed no spinal involvement but there are two separate types of tumour in the rt breast . As I’m a 38DD it will be very noticeable I guess , but that’s the least of the

In April 2000 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a mastectomy, chemo, and five years each of Tamoxifen and Femara.

Prepectoral, immediate, direct to implant surgery
Hello, Has anyone had this type of mastectomy and immediate above the muscle reconstruction? I live in a small town in North Carolina and I am finding it hard to find a surgeon/patients who have had experience with this procedure. Thank you very much.

Update on Lansoprazole and Doxycycline
Woo hoo! I CAN take them at the same time. I have just spoken to the pharmacist who said it's ok. BUT, I can't take my AdCal until two hours later! She confirmed that it's to do with the calcium content. Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to reply to my earlier post. xx Moy

Hi I’m new 😁
Hi I’m 27 years old and was diagnosed with a high grade papillary carcinoma. I am a BrAc1 carrier also from my dads side. I had a double mastectomy in August and was told that was all I would need. However on removal of my breast tissue they found another lump at grade 3. I have now been told that that

Advice for K2 please
I know there have been posts about K2 but can`t remember what was said. My Rheumy has taken me off Adcal. I take Vit D but wonder what effect large doses of Adcal have had on my arteries. Where is the best place to get K2 if I decide I need it?

Radiotherapy & second primary malignancies.
New study below. My prostatectomy [RP] of 14.5 years ago was not successful & so I had salvage radiation. I was told that there would be an increased risk of a second cancer - but not within the first 5 years. At that time I was not thinking beyond 5 years, & extra risk after 5 years was not a consideration

medical marijuana and COPD
I read an article on line that said medical marijuana reduces inflammation and provides better sleep. I am not to sure whether it was CBD (does not cause a high) or HTC ( causes a high. Does anyone have evidence or have tried it for your COPD?

Meeting with Radiation Oncologist to discuss treatments after persistent cancer after Radical Prostatectomy (RP) with PSA of 0.8 - Gleason 7
I had my meeting with my Radiation Oncologist (RO) to discuss my treatment plan now since I had the recurrence cancer after surgery with PSA 0.8. He had me meet him in his examining room, instead of his office so he could sit next to me and my wife. I thought that was unusual because I even asked if
