Cystectomy
Hi all, I’m having a cystectomy in a couple of weeks time to remove endometriomas from both ovaries. Was just wondering if anyone knew the recovery time for this operation? I’m still working from home at the moment so assume I could be working again after a couple of days? Thanks, Sarah

My cancer has come back in my chest bone!
Hi, it’s 8 years since I has HER2 grade 3 breast cancer and chemo and a mastectomy on my left side and on a Tuesday my breast consultant told me I have secondary breast cancer in my breast bone. It hasn’t spread anywhere else yet and I am due to have radiotherapy but my bone consultant is on holiday

A Time for Everything
My MS can be challenging at times to absolutely miserable but life in the world has been challenging and hard for many. I find myself not looking or reading about DMTs, or my usual MS forums or magazines. When I do look at those magazines and I see the new faces, just like I mine, 30 or so years ago.

Reconstruction after mastectomy
I’m looking for some advice, for those of you that have had a mastectomy & reconstruction did you get good results? I may be heading down this path & wanted an idea of pros & cons following surgery?

High iron saturation
I'm told that my iron is fine or that the ferritin should be closer to 50. Would supplementing iron be wise if the total iron is 133? I'm supplementing with methyl B12/folate and have brought those levels up to optimal ranges. They were low at the time of these iron results. Should I retest the iron

Help please to understand results before doctors appointment.
Hello all, Apologies in advance for the long list of results and questions I’d like to ask! I posted my Medichecks results a few weeks ago but wanted to note them again now I have my NHS results. Please could I ask a few questions of you knowledgeable people, I know I may have asked some of them before

Liver function tests
I had chest pains a few weeks ago, went to A&E and after 8 hours I was discharged, told to take it easy and see the cardiac nurse. I am now down for echocardiogram, reviewing my other arteries and existing stents (full metal jacket of 4 stents), possible angiogram, stress test, plus full review of meds

Diagnosis of Hughes no longer relevant
Hello everyone on this APS support group. A few months ago it was suggested to me that my clotting/bleeding problems, could be explained by Hughes syndrome/APS. I dutifully proceeded to research this topic and thus became absolutely convinced that my problems were caused by this drug. I obediently

In praise of Ibrance and Letrozole
My initial right-breast cancer appeared (grew very quickly to the size of a grapefruit) in 1992. I had 6 courses of chemo, very extensive mastectomy, 34 radiation, then 6 more chemo. I was clear of what all doctors said would be terminal. Had lots of physical therapy and crying. 24 years later, in 2016

10 days after complete hysterectomy - looking forward to new lease of life!
I finally got my total hysterectomy done after waiting so long - most of the wait was down to me not being well enough for the op - the other part was due to covid 19. I was petrified but my main thought was that if I needed an op I was only going to have one. I wanted it all over and done with as I'd

Treatment for invasive lobular breast cancer
I am on femara 2.5mg daily for 5 years as of now. No chemotherapy given as oncotype dx score was 9. Right mastectomy done. No radiation given as no lymph nodes were involved and margins after surgery were clear of tumour infiltration. Do I need any other treatment? What about immunotherapy n CDK4/6

Impact of Vasectomy on the Development and Progression of PCa: Preclinical Evidence
New study below [1]. A post on the possible influence of vasectomy on PCa development might seem like navel gazing at this point, but the subject continues to interest me. When the first "bad news" about vasectomy was published long ago, the reaction was unexpected. Rather than warn men about to be

To be on Ibrance or not?
To be on Ibranceor not? I moved from CA to PA and last Nov. had a pet scan and it was cancer free, clear. I was on Ibrance and letrozole for two years as my cancer came back in left lymph nodes again. I had estrogen type cancer in left breast in 2009 and had a double mastectomy and chemo. Then for 5

Actemra twist
Just saw my rheumatologist today. I’m having some trouble with the veins on my right arm during my monthly IV treatments of Actemra. I had a left side mastectomy so I can only use my right arm for blood pressures, injections, blood draws and IVs. Veins are not holding up too well after all that’s been

Still in pain after tkr 18 months ago
Got my tkr (total knee replacement) 18 months ago. I had to endure 2 manipulations because u could not bend my knee. After intense PT I am okay in that sense; however, the pain is intense and comes every 4 to 5 hours. It's an intense static numbness pain, and when it hurts the most is when I feel the

Test results, following up from a month ago
Hello. I posted on here a month ago asking for advice before an endo appointment. I was feeling very poorly - a lot of joint pain, brain fog, falling over, dizzy, ears ringing etc. Your advice was really helpful, thank you. I ended up having levothyroxine increased from 50 to 75mcg, liothyrinine
