Mastectomy distress
Had my mastectomy last week and I’m having the dressing and last drain out tomorrow. When I went for the first check up Monday, I got very upset and couldn’t look at the scar and asked for it to be recovered until tomorrow, I thought it would be fine and I’d not care about losing the breast if the cancer

Anyone out there with recurrent non-metastatic breast cancer?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I hope you can help me. I was first diagnosed in 2009 with stage 2 IDC(invasive ductal carcinoma) in my right breast. Had a lumpectomy, chemo (ACT) and 6 weeks of radiation. In March 2013, I found another lump in the same breast. Had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction

One year wait for reconstruction?
Hi, I am sure there must be a few of you out there that can answer my question:- "Why is it that some ladies can have a reconstruction at the same time as mastectomy, yet some of us have to wait a year?" Is there something that I am just not getting or being told? Take care all x

Hoping for the best.
Just three years ago, I had small stage 1 cancer followed by lumpectomy and radiation. All was done so it would not return. About six months ago, it was back and crazy. I'm now taking Ibrance and Anastrozole. It has been difficult, but fortunately, I'm tolerating the medication quite well. Now the

Great news and busy times
Sorry it has been a while since I posted but lots has been happening. On May 30 I had a bilateral mastectomy. July 8 I had to go back in because the right tissue expander had staph infection. On August 2 teachers started back to work in classrooms and kids started the 12. On Aug. 17 I got the results

Surgery one done
My husband had his gastrectomy last Thursday and came home yesterday, I’m so proud of him for how well he’s doing. My mastectomy is scheduled for next Thursday and I’m getting nervous about the surgery and leaving the family with my husband still recuperating, but can’t wait for us both to be cancer

Dbl Mastectomy
I had my double mastectomy Wed, the 4th and came home the 5th. Minimal pain, and not much drainage. Has my 1st dressing change on Friday and it doesn't look bad at all. I thought I'd react badly to it; cry, scream, yell, get angry or be mortified but I never felt any of that, instead I felt "hey, that

Lymphatic fluid/Seroma
Good morning all, Was just wondering if anyone can put my mind at rest? I had a mastectomy and full axillary lymph node clearance last week, with no drains. Although I appreciate that it is early days, I have noticed a whoosing sound (like a hot water bottle) of what I presume is lymphatic fluid/seroma

Treatment
I’m curious how many with lobular breast cancer here are on Ibrance/Letrozole or other combinations and have not had any other therapy; i.e., mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation.

The last week in June I put my house up for sale, the 3rd of July having found a lump in my breast i went to the walk in clinic

Extra cover for dental extraction
Hi. This is my first post and I need some advice. I’ve had PMR for just over three years and am currently taking 2.5mg pred. I also currently have raging tooth ache and although I am trying to deny it I’m pretty sure I am going to have to see a dentist and pretty sure they’ll want to extract it as I’

New PET SCAN
My wife underwent post chemo PET CT and report is good. Still local and main lump almost gone. Mastectomy in 2 weeks. As she is Her2 + she shall be on Herceptin or on biosimilars for rest of the year. My question this time is whether insurance pays for Herceptin infusion post mastectomy in India ?
