Help me understand my blood test results please.
Afternoon everyone, I had a blood test on Tuesday and the results back today, the Dr has said no action needed on my thyroid medication, I was expecting for it to increase perhaps as I’ve been having some symptoms worsen recently. I’m currently on 25mg Levothyroxine. I was diagnosed three years ago

New here: about to have TAHBSO, worried about upstaging and menopause.
Hey everyone, I'm new here. I've read about a billion posts trying to find out as much info as possible. I'm only at the beginning of the journey. I've had scans in the last few weeks which revealed an 8.5cm cyst in one ovary and 3 x 2cm cysts in the other ovary. The MRI 'looks worrying' I've been told

Has anyone everyone gone through Oncoplastic surgery?
I've just completed my 6 sessions of chemo, and the MRI and scans show no tumors, or if there are any none are visible. I am still being told I will need surgery to remove any/all residual tissue that was the tumor. I was given 3 options: 1) lumpectomy 2) oncoplastic surgery 3) mastectomy. I would

A Christmas to forget.
On the 14 December I got up as usual around 05.00Hrs, walked into my lounge tripped and fell on the hardwood floor. The result: a fractured femur. Somehow I managed to get to a phone to ring 111. After a major operation I was kept in hospital right up to the last day of Dec, simply because I lived alone

8 years on!
I had grade 3 HER2 positive breast cancer in my left breast and had a mastectomy and chemo and herceptine and have been on tamoxifen for 8 years. I am suffering with pain in my bionic boob and very itchy red décolletage which nothing seems to soothe and scratching doesn’t get rid of the itch. Does anyone

Didn't realise they'd removed my ovary

PET scan results
Hi all, I am so lucky to have found this site. You have helped me a great deal since my MBC diagnosis in October. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in June of 2009. I had a mastectomy on my right breast with clear margins and no lymph node invasion. I had 6 rounds of chemo but no radiation.

Post hysterectomy, when can I have a proper bath?
Hi ladies, I’m one week post total hysterectomy, including cervix. All going well so far. The one thing I forgot to ask is when can I have a bath? A shower just isn’t the same for me.
