Looking for nutrition/natural medicine recommendations
Hi all, Absolutely hating this journey to be honest. Single mum of two auDhd teens. It’s been hell. I’m angry and don’t feel I’ve accepted any part of this. I’m just recovering from double mastectomy and now waiting to see if I need chemo/herceptin. Waiting waiting forever waiting. That’s one of the worst parts. Anyway, just wondering if any of you know any good online nutritional medicine/naturopaths etc who use good evidence based practice to help me navigate through this **bleep** show? I start ovarian suppression and AIs next week, before going back for more surgery because my nipple is now on the banned list 🙄 Many thanks and all the love in the world to you all xxxxx❓ Are More Young Women Being Diagnosed with Breast Cancer?

Heavy lifting after surgery
Hi all Im 17 days post bilateral mastectomy and recon. I have a 3 yr old and a 1 year old. My husband is doing all the lifting etc but today I forgot myself and picked up my 3 year old. I instantly remembered and went to sit down with her. Im not in any pain and nothing on the outside seems to be affected. has anyone done this and if so, what signs do I need to watch out for with messing up recovery? thank you
Issue with chemo port surgery
Hi all, I've just recently had my chemo port installed after going through phase 1 of chemo taxol and carbo, for tnbc. I'm concerned as I think my surgeon forgot to stitch my 14 cm wound, I've had bleeding and from what I can see and the chemo nurses can see that there were no stitches, i dont know what to do..... I'm uncomfortable with male doctors and nurses so I've been avoiding the emergency room.... Seems like medical negligence...
