The annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference encompasses multiple types of cancer, and this year many abstracts were submitted about MBC. I’ve reviewed the abstracts and taken the liberty of pasting information about those that were not previously in my book, “The Insider’s Guide

Reconstruction without expanders
Greetings Everyone! I had a mastectomy of my left breast in Dec 2017. At the time all I could think about get rid of the cancer! I said I wasn't interested in implants, however my surgeon said he left some skin in case I changed my mind. So now over a year later, I cannot stand the prosthetic breast

Lymph Node Transfer
Hi there! I am new to this site and looking for some advice. Since having a mastectomy and node clearance for BC almost five years ago, I developed lymphedema of the arm which has gradually got worse (almost 70% increase :-( ) I have been fortunate to be listed on the NHS for a lymph node transfer

IVF/ICSI Abroad??
We are unable to have IVF/ICSI on the NHS as my husband has had failed vasectomy reversal. Private treatment here in the UK seems unattainable for us due to cost. Has anyone had IVF/ICSI abroad? I've been looking at Poland, Czech Republic and Madrid. I was just looking for anyone who has had fertility

Greetings from my right breast
Hi all, I'm 55 and my father's sister died of breast cancer in her 40s or 50s and my mother's mother was successfully treated for it in her 60s (full mastectomy both sides with lymph nodes). In a couple of weeks I am getting my first ever needle biopsy on a mass I have had since say 10 or 11, as well

My question about measles immunity
"Adults who have weakened or impaired immune systems caused by diseases, cancers or medications, or those who may have altered immunity such as the very elderly, are at higher risk for severe complications from measles, including pneumonia. They are also at higher risk for adverse reactions to the vaccine

Vasectomy and PCa: a 38-year nationwide cohort.
New Danish study below. I have been following the vasectomy-PCa link for 15 years. At diagnosis my vasectomy was already 25 years in the past. It seems to me that the cancer link to vasectomy has been deemed to be unacceptable. What would happen if men throughout the world refused vasectomies? One

Update to 'help with blood test results please'. More help needed!!
Thanks for the advice! I have posted the blood test results again, just for reference. I saw a gastroenterologist for anaemia, who was about as much use as a chocolate teapot! Told me I wasn't very anaemic and to take a different form of iron tablet. Said that the B12, THS, and 'other thyroid bits' were
