Here I am again... another oestrogen positive cancer, same stoopid dense breast. It was picked up on MRI as it couldn't be seen through my milky dense breast tissue and after an MRI biopsy…

Ongoing seroma
Has anyone else had issues with a seroma ? When I first had a double mastectomy, my right side needed syringing for quite a few months. Years later, when doing a lot of DIY, I felt pain there and thought the worse, but it turned out to be another seroma. It slowly lessened but I seem to have one again now. Would this be to…

Sorry if TMI but genital pain with chemo...
Currently undergoing 4 dose dense AC and cannot find anyone else mentioning this side effect maybe due to intimate nature? My genital area is inflamed and feels swollen and sore. It's painful. Surely I am not alone with this side effect? Does anyone have experience with it and how long till it becomes less painful?…

This roller coaster is insane and I want to get off. Found a lump 8 weeks ago, took a month to get into my rural GP, another 2 week wait for scans…

World Childless Week - this week
Many people are childless and, whilst some never wanted them in the first place, some really did but it was not to be. This story appeared on my ABC feed on Monday. Personally, I empathized with the gentleman whose story also appeared. "Why don't you just adopt? You can have one of mine! At least you get to sleep-in… When…
