Reconstruction after implant infection.
Hello All I was diagnosed with grade 1 ER pos. and HER2 neg. BC in April 2018. I had surgery in July for a left breast reduction and right breast mastectomy with an implant. The surgeons performed lymph nodes and nipple biopsy to test to see if the cancer had spread and I was relieved to hear that

3 weeks post hysterectomy and having problems
Hi All, So following on from my previous post I have have a total hysterectomy procedure with removal of uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries and cervix. This is due to Endometriosis and adenomyosis and was my last resort really as I have had 7 previous laparoscopic procedures, the pill, Mirena coil decapeptyl

Hyper with Graves antibodies gone hypo and considering the idea I’ve lost my mind...
Hi all! I’m new here and have read loads of information so far but I’m feeling a little lost and overwhelmed. The brain fog doesn’t make it any easier. So a little back story, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism when I discovered I was pregnant 12 years ago. Where I lived at the time medical care wasn

Refusing Chemo
I am 63 and recently diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ducal carcinoma, hormone negative and HER2 positive. This is a more aggressive cancer but let’s face it, cancer is cancer.

low t3 & corrected calcium
I am in Jersey CI, & was bedridden for years. Then a friend gave me some old T3's which improved things a lot. But still no diagnosis from GP. I eked out the increasingly weak 5 year old T3, then bought some metavive 111. Things improved a lot more, though T3 serum even lower, & TSH now in range, but

Hello, Has anyone had this type of mastectomy and immediate above the muscle reconstruction? I live in a small town in North Carolina and I am finding it hard to find a surgeon/patients who have had experience with this procedure. Thank you very much.

Hi I’m new 😁
Hi I’m 27 years old and was diagnosed with a high grade papillary carcinoma. I am a BrAc1 carrier also from my dads side. I had a double mastectomy in August and was told that was all I would need. However on removal of my breast tissue they found another lump at grade 3. I have now been told that that

Bladder and estrogen
Have a question regarding bladder health. Had a total hysterectomy. Have no ovaries, no uterus, etc. I use the .5 estradiol patch. I am only 44 and was told I need alot more estrogen. My level was 70. I developed a UTI (only the second one in my whole life) and it's taken me months to get rid of it
