Hi At age 32 I had a triple negative tumour removed (lumpectomy) followed by chemo and
radiotherapy
. Fast forward 31 years I have just had a mastectomy after I had an oestrogen positive tumour. No chemo needed-phew!

Diagnosed with all the arrhythmias and a 40% ejection fraction and I'm a little confused about what's to come...
Hi, So (I'll try and keep a long story short) 8 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had chemo,
radiotherapy
and surgery. 3 years ago I gave birth to my son and (in lock down) I'd walk for miles and miles with him in a sling.

Post cancer
It's a little over 12 months since I completed 20 fractions of radical
radiotherapy
and I'm now being regularly monitored. My last scan shows progressive mucous plugging. Has anyone else had this and what it means.

Hypofractionated SBRT for Prostate,local and distant nodes
My Kaiser Radio oncologist says he can do it if I want, but, “prostate only
radiotherapy
is science doing the lymph nodes is based on hope.”

Radiation induced lumbar plexopathy
After 37 lots of
radiotherapy
for stage 4 prostate cancer Jan through March this year, I thought everything was going brilliantly until 3 months ago. After being bounced around specialists, I have now been diagnosed with radiation induced lumbar plexopathy.

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this but so glad I found it. Thought I'd introduce myself....no point in holding back!
This lead to a debate as to whether I should have Chemo &
Radiotherapy
or just
Radiotherapy
. My notes were sent to the Royal Marsden & the decision was made for me to have 5 wks of
Radiotherapy
. As I'm sure a lot of you know, there began years of follow ups etc.

Ablation dilemma
He is then due to start 4 weeks of
radiotherapy
the week after we come back. The bathroom is also being ripped out that week so we cannot stay there, not sure where at the moment as we won't have facilities. I feel I am in the worst place possible and not the right time for me to have this done.

Facing thyroid surgery?
Not knowing what to do and following medical advice I spent a year on anti-thyroid medication, but when they paused the medication to see what happened the thyroid hormone levels went back up again and so the pressure began for me to have 'definitive treatment' - either
radiotherapy
or a thyroidectomy

recent brain tumour op
Also worried coz been told I will now have
radiotherapy
on brain and this will make me feel nauseous tired hair loss and will set back my rehabilitation. The lack of information is anxiety causing and as as usual I have to self advocate and prepare questions so to understand what’s next.

Brain fog, weakness meds or tumour?
I am currently awaiting
radiotherapy
. I take steroids in the morning and Keppra at night and experience a constant brain fog and weakness to limbs which I am unsure as to whether it is due to the meds or the tumour. The brain fog is variable but appears worse if I don't sleep well.

K2 supplement
I had breast cancer in 2016 and was prescribed Letrozole, and as I had
radiotherapy
too, advised to take iCal and Alendronic Acid. I was diagnosed as osteopaenic after a DEXA scan. I had to stop AA as it made my hands and feet painfully swollen. Unfortunately I fractured my femur in June.
