Major surgery and a Vasovagal event
I had gluteal
reconstructive
surgery
. The anaesthetist suggested I should increase my pred. So I did the sick day rule and added 5. Three days after surgery I had a Vasovagal event and the crash cart was called. I had a concussion and stayed in hospital a further two nights.

delayed reconstruction
I was supposed to receive
reconstructive
surgery
and have titanium implant to protect the sensitive area where my skin is my only protection to my brain. That was supposed to be 3-6 months after the initial surgery.

Hello
I was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2001 I had a mastectomy with
reconstructive
surgery
followed by chemo and radiation. Following that I was put on Tamoxifen Arimidex and Taxol. After being off for 5 years last year in 2022 I was diagnosed in the other breast with cancer.

Hormonal therapy ?
Hi, I was diagnosed with extended DCIS with ER+, PR+.I had a total mastectomy with a diep flap 2 weeks ago, My surgeon referred me to medical oncology for hormonal therapy. I am curious do I still need hormonal therapy as I already had a mastectomy, as far as cancer recurrence and preventing cancer

Diep Flap Procedure Question
Hi, I'm a breast cancer survivor and I had a double mastectomy. It is planned that I'm going to have the Diep flap procedure and I was wondering if anyone could advise me on how weight gain and loss affect the body after this procedure? Thanks

Recurring symptoms, bit panicky
I've already posted once when I was first diagnosed with GCA and got loads of good advice, info, reassurance. So grateful. The problem now is that after 12 days on Prednisolone 50mg the headaches started to come back and jaw pain. I wrote in my previous post that an on call doctor came out on the Saturday

Update on Trelegy v Fostair
A few weeks ago I had a bad fall and required a CT scan of my chest. It picked up a few things that are being followed up and one of them required me to attend an appointment with my Resp Consultant at 9.00 am this morning! I hoped he would also have time to discuss the issue I've had re the asthma

radiation treatments led to perforated colon?
St. Patrick’s Day I collapsed in pain and was rushed to ER. A CT ABD PE revealed a perforated colon near my rectum, broad internal infection (sepsis) with kidneys and liver shutting down. A life flight, three surgeries later, 3 weeks sedated and immobile in an ICU, and seven weeks in hospital rehabs

Between treatment pain
this is a bit of a long one (sorry in advance) I was diagnosed last year through private care that I got with my work at the time. I was told that I was at high risk of ending up with a colostomy bag if I went for surgery, so they pushed for ‘medical management’. My first gynae had already put me on

Shoes wider ?
Like my hands, my toes are now badly deformed and I'm struggling to get even wide shoes on. Can anyone advise where to get nice looking shoes for arthritis feet ? I really don't want surgery if I can avoid it.

A Blip in time!
I am 74 (F) and was diagnosed in Nov, 2019 with PV and JAK 2 positive. I have been in clinical remission for 18 months and take Jakafi 10mg 2x daily. I have an allele burden of 15 currently down from 60 at diagnosis. My blood draws have been within limits for 18 months with only a blip in the blood calcium

Wedding Over!
I made the trip to my step-daughter’s wedding. No problems with the mother, but she was upset that I was there! From the airport to the Inn that we stayed, was 75 miles! After that, we found that it was an additional 68 miles to the wedding site! The wedding was held in a forest and it was exactly

MRI shows pedunculated fibroid and what they think is an endometrioma on my ovary. Is this problematic or require surgery?
After a CT scan and ultrasound which couldn't be positive if there was a mass on my ovary or not, an MRI last week shows what they think to be a 3.2 cm endometrioma or hemorrhagic cyst, but most likely and endometrioma. I had the test last Thursday, got the results last Friday and then Monday (yesterday

Lower stomach pain - an update, plus a flare
This is partly an update on my last post regarding the lower left stomach pain that I’ve been getting and partly a flare. First, the stomach pain. I saw a GP last week ( different one ) ref the results of my recent ultrasound scan. The radiologist couldn’t get a clear picture, so did an internal exam
