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?- 7Views0likes0Comments
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?115Views0likes6Comments
