Suggestions for Exercise?
I am getting so frustrated because I feel that I can't do any exercise. Like others, walking on the flat is usually OK, inclines however are not possible. I have developed both postural hypotension and postural vertigo now which, again makes it difficult to walk even. The nausea is bad with the vertigo

Laparoscopy Preparation and Packing List:
Due to endometriosis and ovarian cysts I had a laparoscopy and bilateral ovarian cystectomy in June in preparation for IVF. I was petrified and had put the operation off for months in the hope that I would get pregnant and then not have to deal with going into hospital and have someone play with my ovaries

She said that i'm usually put in for the next available appoint which is always a 1 yr to wait!!! She said that I was on all the correct meds & at the moment

What are the groups views on the latest research regarding preventative treatments with tamoxifen and raloxifene?
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says tamoxifen or raloxifene taken daily by high risk women for five years can cut breast cancer risk by 40%. May provide a treatment option besides mastectomy for women found to be genetically high risk. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23032371

How to cope with my mom's treatment? .
Hi Guys, First of all, thanks for the forum. It was much needed. International forums help but most of the times we cant relate to their suggestions due to unavailability of most of the items in India. My mom has been diagnosed with BC (DCIS left breast and lymph nodes, 3cm tumor). Started Chemo

Hi Everyone, I wondered about tiredness - how long does it take to recover from major ops? Its been 8 months since my last one.
I had my mastectomies last year and am now back at work getting on with my life.Understandably every ache and pain or symptom becomes a question mark about cancer. So I am trying not to get anxious about this hence this question. No chemo or radiotherapy. I feel like I haven't quite got back to my old

Psychological effects of mastectomy
If anyone out there has had a mastectomy, I would be grateful for any advice re how you came to terms with the loss - of part of you, self image, fear of appearance afterwards, even with reconstruction. It feels so daunting & I don't know how to cope. I have 4 weeks before the op

My mom had her endoscopy & CT scan done last week -some legions in the liver but yesterday night she vomited blood & is in hospital. .
Last year in April 2012 my mom underwent total gastrectomy. She lost around 10 kgs weight post operation but was doing okayuntil the last month. She has been complaining she doesn't feel like eating food but at the same time her stomach area or where her stomach was before the operation feels empty..

Confused told today diarrhoea is because of past operations
Went to hospital today and doctor has changed my medication to colestramine and codeine. They now say my diarrhoea is down to past operations I've had the latter being a gall bladder removal which he says has made it worse. Why don't the doctors warn you before these operations that things will get worse

please see my additional info below, it wouldn't fit in:
following full left mastectomy and lymph node removal in 2006 i have slight lymphodema in left arm. the treatments have left me with some excess weight but my left tummy area is fatter and feels "squidgy" , more like fluid than a spare tyre! could it be lympdodema?
