Cancer again
Thinking of a
mastectomy
this time but still concerned that the CLL might be an underlying cause. Any comments would be very appreciated as I really don’t know where to start with this new diagnosis.

My
mastectomy
11 years ago revealed both ductile (7mm) and lobular (5cm) masses. No one...or no biopsy report...I've seen distinguishes the current lesions as one or the other. Scan after scan I'm always surprised nothing is found in my gut. I have pains and GI symptoms the scans don't explain.

New diagnosis of metastasised breast cancer in lung.
In 2014 I had treatment for +++ ER stage 2 breast cancer including chemo,
mastectomy
, lymph clearance, radiation, Herceptin. Following pleurisy and a CT scan I’ve now been diagnosed with the same metastasised BC in my lung by the respiratory dept. I also have severe rib pain and numbness.

Increased tumor marker after radiotherapy
I had a
mastectomy
in June and radiotherapy which ended 20th August. On 20/8 my tumor marker was steadily going down to 41 but has now gone up to 51. Am somewhat anxious, could the radiotherapy have caused the marker to rise? Any comments gratefully received Helen

INR problems
On Warfarin for 5 years still I broke my ankle followed by DVT. My INR level should be between 2.0 & 3.0 but has been erratic sometimes too and sometimes too low. I had a Total Gastrectomy 30 years ago and was wondering if malabsorption is causing the problem.

How to manage Xeloda?
I had a
mastectomy
5 years ago and was on a maintenance dose of Anastrozole. I am HR negative. When diagnosed I was given radiation for tumour activity in my sternum and a combination of Fulvestrant injections and kisqali medication.

MBC changing from oral chemo to drip
I had a chemo drip six years ago along with bilateral
mastectomy
. Hopefully they are less debilitating now than they were six years ago. Also praying not to lose my hair again. Has anyone else started drip chemo after oral chemo lost its efficacy and what was your experience?

11 years ago I had a
mastectomy
on my right breast, and followed up with 7 weeks of radiation. All was well...then in May I was short of breath and my primary Doctor said it was COPD? Well I questioned that and demanded a lung xray.

How should I prepare for surgery?
(Diagnosed in Dec 2018 and started on 20mg prednisolone. ) I am having a
mastectomy
next week and I would like to know if I should increase my prednisolone dose before the surgery and/or afterwards. I am currently on 7.5mg. My rheumy dept has not been at all helpful.

Mastectomy questions
I am having a
mastectomy
in another 10 days on one side. with no reconstruction. Previously I had had a lumpectony, chemo and radiation 4 yrs ago, I'm just wondering how long the recovery period usually is and can you wear pullover shirts or do you need button down ones?
