Nipple tattooing

Last reply: 05 February 2021 05:37
Hi all, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer two years ago at the age of 21. I had the standard treatment including mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with an implant. I have been considering getting a nipple/ areola tattoo and I found a tattooist called Aisling mahon in Kildare. I was wondering has anyone else opted to get a nipple tattoo and if so, were they satisfied with the result? Thank you, Tara.

Food query

Last reply: 06 April 2024 11:03
Hi there, trying not to read too much about diet as so much conflicting advice out there. Can you eat a takeaway when having chemo? And I’m reading conflicting advice on raw vs cooked nuts? Thanks

Hi. Could anyone tell me their experience after injecting Lonquex the day after chemo. How severe was your bone pain and how long before it kicked in if it did. I know everyones experience is different. Thanks

Parent who has cancer

Last reply: 24 March 2021 01:04
Hi everyone, I am new to the site. It's nice to have a bit of extra support in these times. My Dad is starting his Prostate Cancer treatment next week for 2 months. I'm anxious and worried about the road ahead. I'm reaching out on here as I can't talk to him about how I'm feeling. I hope things will go really well for him. I love him with all my Heart and we lost my Mam 2 years ago and with the whole Covid thing it's extra challenging on everyone. Thank you for reading my post.
