How my AF started...
Question for all the very knowledgeable people on here: Background: I had a Sleeve Gastrectomy (weight loss surgery) in 2012. Extremely successful up until 3 years ago when I began to gain weight but I wasn’t eating more. Then I started having to force myself to be sick after eating just a tiny bit

New invasive on mastectomy side.
I am new to this site and to metastatic breast cancer. I had a mastectomy 12 years ago for Dcis. Unfortunately I have now fallen into the less than 2% of people who get a cancer from the less than 5% of breast tissue left behind. I found fullness and a mass in the arm pit. Anyone else have this experience

Age.... what’s age?
I decided a long time ago that age was only a number. I used to purposely leave it off my CV if I was job hunting. This wasn’t because I was precious about it but because I knew whatever age I was I could do the job, probably just as well if not better than the younger ones. People often said to me

Back pain after eating
Hi Wondering if anyone can offer advice? I had a total gastrectomy 3 weeks ago, so I’m aware it’s very early days and everything is probably working really hard. I’ve been doing ok, I was having a few hard days over the weekend, bloating and uncomfortable and diarrhoea. I’ve been given digestive enzymes

Physical illness with treatment resistant depression
HI, can I transcribe a loooong rant I posted on "thyroid"? I have not been allowed to call myself depressed or physically ill, as I live in Jersey Channel islands, & the GP's (all private) here have buried me alive along with my medical records. I have never received treatment other than AD's which don't

Flap surgery
Hi there I had a chemo, mastectomy, radiation and now reconstruction on Tuesday. I decided to get the flap surgery instead of implant. Since I had radiation and skin isn’t same plus you will have to get another surgery in 5 years. Has anyone ever had the flap surgery where they use belly fat instead
