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
