Yesterdays blood results- first since asking for serum B12
Yesterday I got my first blood results since starting this journey to try and help find the source of my health issues. The GP had refused IF antibodies . To my dismay the lab (local hospital ) had refused to test for serum B12 as it was done pre op in January and deemed normal. It can't be done for

lymph node removal - would love some advice
I was diagnosed with stage 3, grade 3 breast cancer following a mastectomy in August 2016 and had sentinel lymph node removal. Two were found to be positive. I have just finished chemotherapy and am due to have the rest of my lymph nodes removed (intermediate stage they call it) in two weeks time. Whereas

Gastrectomy
I was diagnosed with oc in October but various complications in the testing process means I've only just found out I'm being offered surgery. At first I was told I'd get some of my oesophagus and some of my stomach removed, but nodal involvement in my abdomen and the fact my junction tumour has grown

Triple negative inflammatory breast cancer.
I have just joined this forum and like what I see in the community, so I thought I might introduce myself. I am 57 and have recently been diagnosed with IBC Triple negative. My journey started in December 2016 when I was referred by my GP to the local hospital cancer suite. They performed the usual test

Breast cancer expander problems.
I was interested in hearing from anyone who has had problems with breast cancer expanders. Or people that have not had problems with expanders. Just your experience with them. I had my expanders put in at the same time as the bilateral mastectomy. I just had the right expander removed because

Post-Treatment - Depression
I was wondering if others had experience after completing treatment for breast cancer with feeling depressed.
