A reason to have both ?
Short recap: MRI found tumors, biopsy results Gleason's 8 and 9 in majority of samples, cancer found in left seminal vesicle, all pretty grim. Local urologist recommended surgery. Went to Duke U. cancer clinic, met with surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist. Apparently surgery alone will

Hello to the group
After two negative biopsies and an inconclusive MRI, I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer after a saturation biopsy (40 cores). Results showed a Gleason 3 + 4 with PSA of 12. Currently considering treatment options, though current recommendation is radical prostatectomy. I am 49 years old and

Reconstruction after implant infection.
Hello All I was diagnosed with grade 1 ER pos. and HER2 neg. BC in April 2018. I had surgery in July for a left breast reduction and right breast mastectomy with an implant. The surgeons performed lymph nodes and nipple biopsy to test to see if the cancer had spread and I was relieved to hear that

Just started Medical Cannabis for RLS and Sleep
I have been prescribed medical cannabis for my RLS - I live in NSW Australia. It is the best thing I have ever had to help. This is a 2 part CBD 1 part THC mix. I only take 1/2 ml or 1/10th of a teaspoon per night but it gives me the best sleep ever - from waking up 3 - 4 times a night with full on

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

Chocolate cyst/endometrioma removal
Hello, So i have a chocolate cyst measuring 3cm on my left ovary. I am scheduled for a Laparoscopy in 4 days.

In April 2000 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a mastectomy, chemo, and five years each of Tamoxifen and Femara. Everything was fine until February 2018, when a biopsy of my underarm lymph nodes confirmed the recurrence and spread on the same side as before. I am presently taking Ibrance and

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

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.

Baffled how to use Medical Marijuana 😯
I have been in much pain. So my physicians suggested medical marijuana. (it is legal in my state, especially for MS). I went to the dispensary (Cureleaf, Inc.), that my doctor chosen for me; I purchased oil (5 mg THC, 5 mg CBD), balm (high in THC👎🏽), and the leaf herb (nice to say than marijuana leaves

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?

N. E. D. on Ibrance
I truly appreciate the information and sharing on this page. I had cancer 12 years ago,, had a double mastectomy, removed the sential node. In October of 2017 I found a pea-sized lump under my right arm. Biopsy showed breast cancer had returned. Scan showed breast cancer in my liver, metastatic. My oncologist

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
