Nipples are scary looking after surgery
I had a nipple sparing mastectomy 13 day ago. The doctor told me my nipples were stressed and not happy, and to apply antibiotic ointment twice a day. They look black and one is peeling. I am taking arnica pills and still on antibiotics. Is this normal?

Is a coil a good idea if you've got Endo?
My husband and I don't intend to have anymore children and whilst he's potentially going to have a
vasectomy
now is not an ideal time to have it with his job so my midwife has advised looking at the coil, I understand there's one with hormones and one without, what's concerning me is the fact that periods

One-year Anniversary: Reflections of a Breast Cancer Survivor
Apr 25, 2017 09:00 am | Jessica Grono April 8 marked the one-year anniversary of the double mastectomy that erased cancer from my body. I am having a difficult time wrapping my mind around it being a whole year. Because I’m busy, I didn’t do anything spectacular on this anniversary, but it sure made

Not a Warrior
64 yr old single woman. Had double mastectomy. It’s been 2-yrs since I completed chemo. I ‘m angry, sad, disappointed, hate my body, I gained a lot of weight, don't exercise or eat well anymore. Am fatigued all the time, depressed, on anti-depressants. Was in some support groups, but found unhelpful

Is there any hope?
The problem is my partner had a
vasectomy
and already has 3 children from a previous marriage. He is happy to get the
vasectomy
reversed but I am worried the odds are too much against us? I understand we won't be entitled to In on the NHS because he already has children .

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

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
