Nearly a year post chemo
Has anyone suffered itching following chemo?! I have been doing really well and then about 6 weeks or so ago my scalp and the back of my neck started to itch. The hospital thinks it may be to do with my hair growing back. Whatever is causing it, nothing seems to be helping much. It really does drive

vasectomy
a few years before i met him and I have PCOS, mild endometriosis and only one tube. He is willing to have a reversal but I just wondered if any one else had any advice or experience on this?

Cellulitis, Day 6, any advice?
Hi, I'm new and found this by pure chance. I have cellulitis in my lower leg, which started off last Sunday, I guessed it was this as I've had it four times before in my arm. Went to GP on Monday first thing and got Flucloxacillin 1 four times a day, normally my arm would go down within 3-4 days but

Reassurance needed about underarm cording ....
Hello all... I had axillary clearance two and a half weeks ago and now have horrible 'cording' in my armpit which I'm finding really really distressing. I managed the mastectomy fine, the chemo, hair loss, nipple removal, you name it, but I'm really struggling with this. It makes me feel horrible and

Bad anxiety
Hi I was diagnosed in Dec 16.coped with surgery-small lump removed not spread to lymph nodes. Had radio and now on letrozole. No probs with anything but the letrozole has made me very anxious! People tell me I'm lucky as no mastectomy or chemo, and on the face of it I'm much better off than others. I

Preparing for the Most Unexpected Body Change After Breast Cancer
After breast cancer surgery, many women are caught off guard by a lack of sensation in their breast(s) and other affected areas. They have a lumpectomy, mastectomy or reconstruction and ask: “Am I ever going to get any feeling back… in my armpit? …over the scar? …on the inside of my arm?” They might

What have you learned and shared from your experience?
Hi! My name is Tina. I had bilateral mastectomies in 2009. I learned a lot from my experience. A big challenge for me was managing my JP drains, especially in the shower. One thing I do now is to make and sell drain belt kits. I also gift them to others. During recovery, A friend would come over and

Invasive Aspergilius Fumigata and breast expander .. and microwaveable heat pack
In February 2012 I was unfortunate enough to get Breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy .. I had a brilliant surgeon who inserted an expander to expand my skin to accommodate a silicon implant at a later date ... everything was going well and my implant was scheduled for late Sept

Hi, I was diagnosed in late December with TNBC, I was given the choice of a lumpectomy or mastectomy of my right breast. Given lower risk of reccurance I chose mastectomy. I had the surgery on march 1st and out of three lymph nodes removed only one had a spot on it, I do not have to have radiation.
