Can a vasectomy fail?
I had a vasectomy in June this year. Thankfully I took plenty of bed rest and made a speedy recovery from the op. The soerm test after 8 or 12 weeks showed it was clear. I had asked the surgeon if the op could fail and my wife could get pregnant again. He said the rate of vasectomy failures is quite

Increased Ca125 and ascities
Hello all. I'm still scared my Ca125 has risen and after a recent short hospital stay due to salmonella, diarrhoea and vomiting, a scan showed the ascities has returned. After a total hysterectomy and debulking surgery last year, I didn't think ascities could come back. This means the tumours must have

Bleeding after hysterectomy.
Did anyone have a post hysterectomy Bleeding? I had a total hysterectomy with both ovaries out. Just finished two weeks. Didn't have bleeding in two weeks, but yesterday had some bleeding. Had used a thin sanitary pad. The endo nurse says it's normal to bleed 6 to 8 weeks. Pls share if anyone bled after

Surgical menopause

New cancer vaccine trial helped kill breast cancer cells in Mayo patient (October 10, 2019 news item)

Implant and reduction/lift surgery while on Ibrance
I have Mets to bones’ ER PR positive HER negative. My oncologist wants to keep me on Ibrance even though I’m having my implant exchange on the mastectomy side and a lift/ reduction on healthy breast to match. Has anyone stayed on Ibrance before, during and after surgery? I’m concerned with healing.

Scared
Hello special people. I'm scared. My OC returned despite being on maintenance Avastin after major debulking surgery and total hysterectomy. It's in my stomach lymph nodes, on my bowel, liver, peritoneum and omental area. I was told I might have another five years if the carbo and Caelyx work enough,

Do you have any advice about avoiding heated legs following an operation.
Needing advice about RLS (restless legs syndrome) and operations I had arthritis in a knee and needed a total knee replacement. Thinking of my RLS, I was concerned that I they might cause problems as they always to kick when they're hot. After the operation I'd need to keep my legs under control. I spoke

Has anyone had success with Keytruda and then stopped treatment?
I was first diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2016. During the first year, I had a nephrectomy, cystectomy and prostatectomy along with other treatments. After all that, the cancer had metastasized to my lung. I began chemotherapy and after a year, the tumors had diminished, but my remaining kidney

Am I Petty?
Am I petty? Seriously, if I am, I apologize, but here’s the thing: Last year my husband and I were visiting my father-in-law in another state, after he had a heart attack. My mother-in-law died shortly after Scott and I were married. She had breast cancer and this was decades ago when more died then

Phlegm when eating
Hi Just wondering if anyone has advice. I had total gastrectomy in January due to cancer. Things have been ok since, able to eat little and often. However the past few days I feel like I’m having spasms in my oesophagus/throat, it happens at random times and is a little worse when eating. Within minutes

HER2 positive treatment recommendation
She has already undergone
total
mastectomy
followed by chemo port insertion. Dr has recommended 4x AC 3 Wkly + (Wkly Taxol *12 + Herceptin(3 Wkly) ). The total cost of treatment is beyond 15L even after Blue tree program.

Debilitating lower back pain
Since pregnancy - 49 years ago ! - I have suffered from lower back pain, initially fleeting and infrequent, for the past 2 years since a total knee replacement, persistent and very frequent. Chronic pain! I have had no benefit from facet joint injections, ablation, caudal epidural and stubborn attempts
