The beast is back
Hello...so I'm 43 and this is my second ride on the cancer train...trying to do it all a bit differently this time: less "on my own" more...team spirit? Maybe I feel like I need a little extra support because there's been a few other curve balls recently and I'm already a bit exhausted. I've got a

About side effects and diet during Paclitaxel chemotherapy
My mother had mastectomy done. She has ER and PR negative HER2 (+++) breast cancer. She has already received 4 cycles of AC chemotherapy. Oncologist said she will need 4 more cycles of paclitaxel chemo then radio therapy followed by 17 cycles of herceptin. After 4 cycles of AC chemo she needed 2 bags

Hi lovely ladies. Been a whirlwind since my first post over 2 weeks ago. Ultrasound, biopsies more ultrasounds and more biopsies and an mri to boot. Upshot is I'm booked in next Wednesday for a double mastectomy. Just wondering if any of you have any advice for me as I near the op. I'm scared as hell

2 weeks post-op drainage
Hello everyone. I’m a newbie, I’m 37 and had a left breast mastectomy with lymph node dissection done 2 1/2 weeks ago. I’m still draining around 80-90 mls in a 24 hour period. Is this normal for some people or should I be concerned. I had 1 drain pulled 4 days ago and the surgeon didn’t say anything

A Little Prednisolone Advice Please
Good morning all. So I began my journey with PMR in July 2016, on 15mg which worked wonders. Since then I have been able to reduce down to 9mg which is where I've been for about 6 months. I have always split the dose morning and evening as I found at the beginning it wasn't lasting me 24 hours and would

Leaking lymphorrhea
My MLD practitioner says that the leaking patch in breast which is engorged with lymph is lymphorrhea. I am having to change dressings on the area several times a day. 7 months after mastectomy and reconstruction, surgeons and doctors seem to have no cures or even ideas. Does anyone share this problem

Breast mastectomy and reconstruction
Hi. I’m new here though been diagnosed since 2012. I had a recent mastectomy and breast reconstruction using tummy tissue. Unfortunately my reconstruction failed and had to be removed a few days later due to issues with blood supply. Anyone else with lupus have a similar experience?

Hi, I'm Suzanne
I had a single mastectomy in January of 2015. Nothing in the lympthnodes, so was able to proceed with reconstruction. I have been taking Anastrazole since and will be for another 2 and 1/2 years. I want to connect with others on this med to compare side effects.

Help - is this right?
Hi all, I have read yesterday's comments about DEXA scans and taking AA with interest - and concern. After initial diagnosis and getting going on meds (Pred only) my GP said she didn't need to see me until I had reduced to 5mg. As time went on it was clear that this wouldn't happen in a rush and I asked

UV lamp for Osteoporosis?
Hi, I’ve just started taking alendronic acid after being diagnosed with OP. I have been taking Adcal for years for osteopenia but fell whilst cycling fracturing both wrists hence a dexa & the resultant diagnosis. Does anyone have any experience of using a UV lamp?
