Hi my mum has a chemo port in her chest. Next to the port a lump has appeared. Mum not sure how long it has been there but it has got bigger over the past few weeks

Hi all, I'm a hormone receptor-negative, HER2+ metastatic breast cancer patient receiving Paclitaxel, Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab on the first week of each cycle, Paclitaxel on the second week and then a third week off. I have osteoporosis that predates this relapse and take a Prolia (Denosumab) 60mg injection every six months to protect my bones. This is my first injection while on chemotherapy and I'm wondering if it's safe? My doctor said it was fine, but didn't really stop to think about it and I'd value a second opinion if anyone has had any experience!

Hi, I am about to start Tamoxifen for five years. I had surgery and completed chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I am still receiving herceptin every 3 weeks. I was wondering whether it would be OK to have the occasional drink, not even every week. Thanks for any advice

I am Hope 59 I want to connect with someone who is in shock at their diagnosis ....November had surgery....now having Chemo finding the whole thing terrifying want to hear about someone like me and how perhaps we can try and help each on the the only road we can entertain......the one of Hope....finding nights the worse. Please connect there must be others just like me.

Hi there, I had a hysteroscopy d&c followed by ultrasound on 21/6. My consultant said after procedure she would ring me in 4 weeks,she had no report ré ultrasound at that stage, no fibroids or polyps but thickening in lining of womb. How long do histology results take? I am so worried. Thank you.

Hi...I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 3 IDC her 2 neg not in nodes. Finished AC therapy and I am due to start taxol for 4 rounds. AC was not great as in tired and weak shaky feeling but that was it basically....not bad really. How do women find taxol therapy? I know chemo affects people differently but just a general idea would be great. I'm done with no energy for few days after chemo with kids on school holidays.

Hi, Last week I got a shooting pain in my right breast, as I was reaching for the pain to ease it, I found a small pea size lump/shape. I am not even sure you would call it a lump, but it is small like a pea and hard. It does not move and is in the area close to the nipple (does not feel close to the surface if you understand). If you press in you can feel the small hard piece. My other breast does not feel like this and I have never felt this before ( I am 34). The shooting pain is gone but I have had a small amount of soreness/pain or discomfort in my breast since. I have made an appointment to see my GP this week, I guess I am feeling nervous, I don't want to be wasting a doctors time but at the same time I don't want to ignore it. Is a physical exam from the GP enough to know something or should a scan or something be done to properly determine what it is? Thanks to anyone who reads and I completely understand if there is not enough time to respond to my query.

Hi, I am 6 weeks after esophagectomy and still very weak and struggling to put on weight. Just wondering has anyone else experience with this? Have some other complications also. Thanks
