Rare ovarian cancer
Just wondered if anyone has been diagnosed with a low grade steroid tumour of the ovary? It is very difficult to find any information as it is rare. I was diagnosed in 2017 and had a full hysterectomy. It recurred in 2019 and I had major surgery to remove 15 lymph nodes and it has just recurred again

Hernias
Hi all Noti long after debunking had an incisional hernia also known as an eventration. The surgeon repaired it with mesh. The first time I sneezed hard it popped out so then he tucked it in and took tiny stitches and that was 4 years ago and still it lies flat and never a problem. However I blame the

Is HRT so bad?
I told a friend yesterday that I might need a hysterectomy (for Endo), and she said āoh I do hope not as you will be put on a very strong dose of HRT - surely thereās another option?ā. Whatās the big deal with going on HRT? Maybe I am not clued up enough but should I be more scared of it? I personally

Decapeptyl for fibroids
Hi, I am six weeks into having the decapeptyl injections to shrink a 7 cm fibroid prior to surgery - myomectomy or hysterectomy. I havenāt had any menopausal symptoms and my bleeding has fluctuated the full time either light or the big gushes. I freak out as I was admitted in October needing blood transfusions

Iron infusion
