My cancer was DC IS and I had a mastectomy. It was non-hormone related. Can I take HRT? Thanks

Sister Jayne, I hope that you're OK. I have my check up every year. I had my diagnosis in Sept 2012 and my mastectomy in Oct 2012. I'm still on a 12 month mammogram and appointment with the oncologist every October. If you're concerned, ask them. I hope that you're well -xxxx-

Thanks for replying. My post went on twice, for some odd reason. I got my results last year and there were no changes. Thanks for your support -x-

Hi Kath. I got my results on 4/11/16. I hadn't heard, so I phoned and asked. All's well, no changes since last year. Thanks for your care and response, I'm glad that your results were good news too.

Hi Kath, I'm having my 4th post mastectomy mammogram a week on Friday and getting myself into a right Tiswas about it. I didn't sleep last night and I know that between now and then it will just get worse. I know just how you feel, it just eats away at you. Sending hugs xxxx

My annual mammogram is due on 21st October. I've had the date for 6 months now, but here I am, 4 years post mastectomy, starting to worry, worry, worry. Am I unusual in this? Does anyone else worry to the point of sleeplessness? It's the same every year and I hate it!

I saw my BC nurse yesterday for my nipple & areola tattoo. I mentioned the back pain & the sharp needle sensation & she said that it was all normal & would settle down. Hope you're all OK.

Melykins, your employers are breaking all disability discrimination legislation. Join a union ASAP & either sue or ask for a financial settlement to your contract. Oh, & hold out for a higher amount than whatever they first offer. This type of thing is sadly all too common & it's a disgrace. Sending big hugs, I hope you're OK -x-

I had my mx & LD flap reconstruction 20 months ago. My back scar is still painful & I get red hot needle type pain across my scar if I try to wear a bra. Is this normal & will it settle down? I did have a flappy bit of skin removed 7 months ago & it became infected & split open. I had to have it packed & dressed for just short of 3 months, which won't have helped. Any ideas or has anyone else experienced similar? Thanks

I had a mx & LD flap reconstruction in Oct 12. My onc said that they wouldn't be able to mammogram that side again. I agree that it is a bit worrying.

Thanks Sam, I did phone & it isn't something to worry about. The lady on the phone emailed me some useful information too. Many thanks to breast cancer care uk, again.

I've had breast cancer and had a mastectomy. My son has come to me this morning & he has a small lump, size of a 5p piece, behind his nipple. He is only 12 years old. I've reassured him that it isn't going to be anything like I had & that he's OK. It really isn't likely to be anything in a 12 year old boy, is it?

Joody of course you're feeling scared & tearful. I remember feeling rotten before my SNB & then the night before my mx. I think these feelings are very normal & understandable. Don't be hard on yourself or push yourself on days when things are difficult. Give yourself the time you need to begin to take on-board everything that's happening. Best wishes.

My surgery on my back opened up on 7th Dec, I'm still getting it dressed etc twice a week & it's still painful: trying to sleep at night is difficult. Has anyone else had this happen & if so, how long can I expect it to go on for?

Hi, I've already posted something similar further down. In November I had my nipple reconstruction & the dog ear of skin from my LD flap reconstruction removed from my back. The nipple' s healing well, but the wound on my back had become infected & split right open; it was really deep & about 2" long. It is painful, trying to sleep is a nightmare. It isn't infected anymore, but it is still deep & I still have to get it cleaned, packed & dressed twice a week. This has been going on since the 1st week in December. Has anyone been through this type of thing? How long did it last before it was healed? I feel pretty rotten, haven't worn a bra for almost a month & would like a good night's sleep. Thanks
