Mastectomy or Mastectomy plus reconstruction

This is my third breast cancer and I have had radiation on both sides, so my surgeon is recommending DIEP flap. It just sounds so brutal. If you have…

Body odour after axillary clearance
After right axillary clearance ten years ago, and following the weird chemical odours during chemo, I realised my right armpit (where clearance was) was heaps whiffier than the left. I have tried so many deodorants, anti bac soaps, anti bac wipes - everything - yet could get out of the shower and still have a horrible…

Treatment after surgery
Hi everyone, I have recently had two lots of surgery (first on 11/7) and second surgery on 29/7. I am finding the brain fog a bit of a challenge (which I have been told is due to having two surgeries close together), so can’t really think straight to correctly say the types, however had a different type in each breast.

Newbie - not the 2024 I was hoping for!
I was diagnosed just before Christmas 2023 with invasive lobular cancer - a journey that just keeps unfolding. Initial diagnosis scans showed the ILC was 3.3 cm, then MRI 6 cm and the pathology results ended up at 7 cm and another 1 cm LCIS spot in a totally different area. I had two surgeries- a mastectomy and a positive…

Exercise and Cancer
unsure if this has been posted before but here is a link for a doco on catalyst on the ABC. Before I started teaching, I was an exercise physiologist. This study is very very interesting and promising. I know it is hard for people to exercise throughout chemo but here is a doco on the benefits. As I know about the benefits…

My ALND was a bust..
Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. I discovered my lump in late May while breastfeeding my bub, and am now two weeks post surgery for hormone positive breast cancer. Not the clogged duct I had originally assumed it was. It’s been an awful shock, as I know everyone will understand. So, I have just had a lumpectomy,…
