Overwhelmed and alone
November 6th I sat in a doctors surgery and had a piece of paper sat down in front of me, "here read this, it's a little different than we expected" I could not understand any of it but my eyes went to the bold print MALIGNANT 5.5mm Phyllodes tumour, and everything since that day has blurred, rushed surgery, medication, and today I realise the enormity of the way my life will now be. Hard to even type without crying, it's all I do.

- Hi all, has anyone had a reaction from their tissue expanders that have been put in post mastectomy?? My symptoms are that I have these hot flushes especially following doing minimal tasks. Like showering. I feel nauseated or vomit if I don't take tablets. I also feel like I will pass out. I am on hormones for hot flushes so not my age! My dr ? Reaction from silicon covering of expander but surgeon and physician don't think it is cause. Wondered if anyone had these symptons. I also don't have temperatures recorded. Feeling very ordinary. I was very good for a week post op then down hill since!!! Lozza.
