Hi TS Thanks for your message. My tattoo didn't hurt as I can't feel that side, well I say didn't hurt, there was a bit around the middle by my breast bone that I felt, and a bit by my shoulder. Apart from that it was well worth it. Happy hunting for the perfect tattoo. S x

Hi I fulfilled one of my bucket lists last week. I took my husband to Las Vegas for his 50th birthday and whilst we were there went to see Matt Goss, oh and I got to meet him afterwards too (my bucket list not my husbands).

Hi I too have been having painful knees and i'm 9 years all clear, I just put it down to the weight I was carrying. The fact that I can't keep up with my husband when he walks too has now got me thinking. Let me know how you get on

Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. 9 years ago I had bc in my left breast, after mastectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and hormone therapy and finally a reconstruction which ended 2 years of hospital treatments and surgeries. I have been discharged by my consultant but have yearly mammograms as I am not yet 50. Anyway to cut a long story short I had a mammogram back in September and have been chasing the hospital ever since for my results, they are supposed to send me out the results but as usual no letter has been forthcoming. After many many telephone calls I finally spoke to one of the BC nurses yesterday who was going to chase it up for me. She rang me this morning to say that everthing was fine BUT I still have the breast calcifications and that they were benign and they were going to keep an eye on them!! That was news to me, no one has mentioned these before and I remember rightly that was how my cancer started 9 years ago. To say that I am now in panic mode is an understatement, so much so that I can't stop crying and feel like a complete idiot at work (I am working at a different place now to when I had my diagnosis and they have no clue what I went through). My question is, has anyone else had this/gone throught it? What can I do to prevent these calcifications turning to cancer cells? Major panic, I do not want to go through that again, I don't think I'm strong enough this time. Thank you all

Hi Blessing I had a phoenix tattoo done last year covering my left breast mastectomy scars, I too did not want to see my scar either and was fed up with a blank canvas. I would advise to get it done, it would certainly make you feel better. If you want to send me your email address I can send you a picture if needed Kind regards

Thank you all for your help, the tattoo was not going on my left arm, just my left breast, which I did have done and had no problems whatsoever. I did manage to get in touch with my Breast Care Nurse and explained everything to her and she gave me the go ahead which I had done about 2 weeks ago.

Hi all. I need some advice and was hoping you could help. 8 years ago I had left side mastectomy and lymph node removal, all been OK and treatment done and dusted 5 years ago. Today I went to get a tattoo done on my left breast, a phoenix which is quite big but my tattooist at the last minute asked me about having lymph nodes removed. I was stencilled up ready to go. She wouldn't go ahead until I had spoken with the breasr care nurses but seeing as though it's a Saturday I can't get to speak to them until Monday if I'm lucky. My query is seeing it was 8 years ago how much risk would there be of any problems? I would be absolutely gutted if I can't get this done. Thanks

I had critical illness cover on my mortgage even though we switched over to a repayment mortgage we still kept up the endownment "just in case" and I am glad we did. I didn't even think to claim it until someone mentioned it to my mum and then I spoke to my Consultant's Secretary and my bank (then Abbey National) and the ball started rolling. They sent a form to my Consultant who filed it in and sent it back and I think I was paid out within about 5 to 6 weeks, it was enough to pay my mortgage off and keep some in the bank which we have "forgotten about". I hope this helps x

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have been all clear now for six years, do I have to still get travel insurance and declare the BC or can I just get ordinary insurance now? I have been with Bromley Insurance in the past and they seemed reasonable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks X
