Mastectomy, lymph node removal stage 3 advice
Hi everyone. I had mastectomy and lymph node removal done and had swelling in my arm. Went for advice to a lymphodaema clinic and was told how to massage, exercise and was given a arm stocking to reduce the swelling. I found that keeping my weight down to a normal level and exercising helped. Also

Surgical menopause?
Hello ladies, I'm interested to hear please how quickly you became aware of menopause symptoms after removal of ovaries. I'm 48, my first ovary was removed in 2015 with a big dermoid, and my remaining ovary was removed a week ago along with a large endometrioma. Prior to surgery I'd been on goserelin

Surgical menopause?
Hi There, Im back again after 4yrs. Thought having my big fibroids removed I would be ok but over the past 2yrs, the little ones have started to grow and be a nuisance. This lead Me to be put on decapeptil..faking my body into menopause so the fibroids would naturally shrink. A yr later and they shrunk

Hi ladies not been on in a while as i've been put at the botton of the list by accident so waited along time for my surgery to come around. That & the fact i need two surgeons to do my op, has proven tricky to get a op date. I'm going in for stage 4 endo removal & possible bowel resection. Maybe a stoma

How long does it take for a surgical menopause to show symptoms?
I had a TLH and BSO nearly 4 weeks ago. I wondered how soon I might start to feel the first signs of menopause? Has anyone else had ovaries removed recently and can share any timescales, expectations and advice? My consultant has said I must not taken any HRT remedies containing hormones for a year.
