Reconstruction Anxiety
Hi Im booked in for a latdorsi reconstruction next week, Im starting to have doubts and anxiety about the procedure. My mastectomy was 17 months ago. Im scared I've rushed into it. I thought I was fine when I booked the surgery but now as it approaches Im freaking out about what could go wrong and whether I will like the result. Would love to hear from others who have had the operation and whether its just a normal reaction to surgery?ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Reconstruction Latdorsi

Re: Waxing and massage
How do I change the wacing to waxing. Lol. Clearly my chemo brain is not working.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsWaxing and massage
Hey guys, Was wondering how soon it is safe to have your legs waxed and have a massage. I finished chemo in April and radiation two weeks ago. I feel like doing something nice for myself but not if its not safe to do so. Would love to hear others thoughts.ViewsSign in to react to this postComments- ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
Paclo ciclib
Hi guys, I have just started taking tamoxifen 1 week ago but my oncologist also told me I would be a candidate for Paclo ciclib. It freaked me out a bit as its a trial. Because i dont know enough about it I declined and kept with the tamoxifen but know Im second guessing myself. Has anyone else on here trialed this drug?ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
