A proportion of people who have had treatment for cancer suffer difficulties with sudden loss of control over bowel movements, and indeed some suffer from chronic diarrhoea issues. Dr Jervoise Andreyev, the gastroenterologist from Royal Marsden, and his colleague Ann Muls, have been in the forefront

Staging of cancer
Hi doctors, I was diagnosed with BC in Qatar, had my chemotherapy course there, came to Bangalore for mastectomy with primary reconstruction and am now undergoing radiotherapy here. I am not sure, if it is because of treatment at multiple places, but I have never got information about the stage of my

Chemotherapy
Hello everyone. My partner had a mastectomy early last June. She's due to start chemo next weeks as a "preventive" measure (stage 3). I was wondering if the 6 week wait was too long?

Feet and heel pain during chemo
Hi friends and well wishers, My mom is undergoing chemotherapy followed by mastectomy. She has completed 4 cycles with 15 days gap and 1 of the 12 weekly cycles. I wonder why she has to go through so many cycles of chemo; is this normal process? She is experiencing more pain in her heels and legs. She

How do i stop feeling confused and despaired
I am new here. I was recently diagnosed to have ovarian endometriosis after ultrasounds, transvaginal ultrasounds and ca 125 tests. Two gyneas suggested an ovarian cystectomy while two others said the laparoscopy doesn't always guarantee it would not recur so they prefer i look at the medical approach

Tamoxifen.
Hi everyone. A year ago on Thursday I had diep flap mastectomy and reconstruction followed by six months of chemo. I was lucky( if you can call it lucky) it hadn't moved to my lymph nodes and because my onco type score was low they said I didn't need radiotherapy.. here I am now after 4 months on Tamoxifen

Bile reflux after liver transplantation or just Acid Reflux? Anyone?
Hello all, I'm still here feeling so horrible with all these symptoms. They put me on metoclopramide but I felt so depressed and distressed after taking them. I do not have good experience with these anti nausea medications. Cyclizine was another one that basically used to make me so drowsy when I was

Hi, I have a quick question.. I had mastectomy in Jan after finding a lump of precancer, turned out there were two lumps of advanced cancer stage 2, had an Oncotype test and chemo followed.! They have said I'm borderline as to whether I need to have radiotherapy, but should I have any scans before they

LETROZOLE
Hi all, I had surgery last December I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. I didn't require chemotherapy nor radiotherapy and feel very fortunate. My tumour was receptive to oestrogen so I was put on LETROZOLE , my first 'brand' gave me terrible joint pain. I am taking a different brand now
