Dealing with the aftermath......advice please
Hi All Hope everyone is well. As we are booked in for TESA next week as my DH had a vasectomy long before we met each other I have started to panic. What if they do not get any sperm? What will that do to his brain? Basically, whilst ever he was the one to have had the vasectomy it was his choice -

Pain after mastectomy
I had my left breast removed on Dec. 28. I have an expander put in and lymph nodes removed. Is it normal to have pain under arm and in chest. It is unbearable at times.

Link between elevated liver enzymes and gall bladder removal?
I stuck my head in the sand for a year just hoping this PBC thing would go away. It didn't. I've finally scheduled a liver biopsy for the middle of March. During the visit to the specialist to get the ball rolling he said something curious about the results of the abdominal scan conducted last year and

Hi, new to site
I was diagnosed August 2013, lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemo and then rads. Had reconstruction last June and second stage of recon last week. Suddenly it seems to have hit me that this may not be it - generally really positive so wondered if anyone else feels this way?
