She's been put on fulvestrant and paleociclib and wanted to know if a) she can still get her hair coloured and b) what's the groups advice on alcohol consumption. It's

Mastectomy or not?
Hi all, this is my first post. Have had OC for 19 months and I have also tested positive for the brca 2 gene. I think that I want to go for a preventative double mastectomy but I am dithering. I havent even mentioned this to my doctor but I am of the opinion that I should try and help myself as much

Anyone have Zometa infusions
Hello. I am 63 and 7 months post mastectomy, and have been on anastrazole since January. My oncologist has suggested I have Zometa infusions every 6 months. I understand there are downsides to consider, including jaw problems. I welcome all insight Thank you in advance!

I have hope
I am new and this is my first post. I had breast cancer 11 years ago at the age of 64. It was caught very early by routine mammogram and the surgeon was just going to remove the very small lump. I said I would feel safer if I had a mastectomy, and he agreed to that. Now the cancer has come back, this

Scans and questions
I have a question about CT scan results. I was diagnosed with MBC a year ago after being 5 years clear of breast cancer. I'm on Ibrance 125 mg and Faslodex shots. The cancer had spread to both sides of my neck, my sternum, and lung. I had a PET scan in January and the tumors had shrunk in my neck

Silicone or saline implants?
I am 60+ and had a double mastectomy and will have reconstruction. Looking for insight between saline or silicone implants. Is one more comfortable in the body? Any problems with either? If you had to choose again, which one would you choose and why? Thank you in advance

Gall Bladder Removal
Following an Ultrasound scan, it was identified that I have gallstones. I saw a surgeon yesterday who wants to take out the gall bladder. My pain is manageable at this stage and he has classed me as medium priority. My question is a simple one. Does anybody regret having the gall bladder taken out and

Lupus and cancer
Oncologist was brilliant had done a lot of research into cancer with APS and Lupus. Opted for mastectomy to try and avoid having to have Chemo or Radiotherapy. He agreed it was better to avoid them if at all possible. Hopefully nothing shows up in Lymph nodes!

So I have a C-P (??) Meningioma that showed up when I had an emergency MRI about 6 weeks ago after I suddenly lost feeling in one half of my face which started at the end of January this year, it's pressing on my trigeminal nerve and working its way over my right hearing nerve, pushing my brain out of

Testicular Pain Since Vasectomy
I love in the USA - I had a vasectomy a couple years ago. I was in immense paint throughout the whole procedure. I could feel them burn me (make incision) and it was awful. I have had to take antibiotics 2 times for swollen tube... can’t recall what they called it. I am sitting on a couch now - laid
