	RE: How much does radiation slow wound healing? By Creativewithcancer, 2 months ago Forum Forum
	@janedoe7 I would hope so! I think I'll message asking for that. I agree that they are hopeful, but in my experience the healing is never as fast as they are anticipating. Thanks so much for "listenin...
	RE: How much does radiation slow wound healing? By janedoe7, 2 months ago Forum Forum
	I know sometimes I just want to be told what to do, and I wish so badly I could give you that. Unfortunately I'm not a doctor and I haven't seen your body, so it's not the right thing to do. I do want...
	RE: How much does radiation slow wound healing? By Creativewithcancer, 2 months ago Forum Forum
	@janedoe7 Thanks for your response! The last any of the doctors saw the wounds in person was two weeks ago. The radiation oncologist saw it when we did the simulation. We scheduled my start three week...
	RE: How much does radiation slow wound healing? By janedoe7, 2 months ago Forum Forum
	Hi! I'm sure you're antsy to get started. It's hard to have things hanging over your head. I have a few questions for you: 1. You said your radiologist said it was OK to start. Did you mean your radia...

	I previously posted about my incisions not healing, and I did end up with a second surgery to fix the incisions. The left side is now completely healed, but the right side still has a few spots that h...
	RE: Lymphedema - Which Doctor?? By janedoe7, 2 months ago Forum Effects on your body
	@mwilson502 Wow, congratulations on your progress! I just wanted to add to this--I do not have lymphedema but we are pretty mindful because I have some risk factors for it. I also get checked on the S...
	RE: Lymphedema's - Which Doctor?? In response By mwilson502, 2 months ago Forum Effects on your body
	For me it was my breast surgeon who tracks my lymphedema and body swelling. She referred me to an occupational therapist who showed me how to wake up my lymphatic system and how to daily exercise to ...
	Lymphedema - Which Doctor?? By Nope, 2 months ago Forum Effects on your body
	Curious for those with lymphedema, which doctor helps manage it for you, or helps navigate your care for it? Your surgeon? Oncologist? Primary care doctor? All my cancer care is with KU. I am in lymp...
	Stomach Spasms/Cramps By Acctg55, 2 months ago Forum Effects on your body
	Hello, I had a bilateral mastectomy just about 8 weeks ago. Every once in awhile I get this spasm/cramp in my stomach that is sharp and painful, but thankfully only lasts a few seconds. I have felt ...
	RE: Bilateral Mastectomy Pain By Acctg55, 3 months ago Forum Forum
	@janetb Thank you so much, makes me feel better! And you reminded me about the Zofran, I never took that the first round because I had bad constipation from the anti-nausea they gave me before the che...
	RE: Bilateral Mastectomy Pain By Acctg55, 3 months ago Forum Forum
	@buttercup To clarify, there was residual cancer left in my right breast when they removed it, so the chemo did not kill 100% of the cancer, hence they recommend me doing more treatment with the Kadcy...

	@lwilliams816 No expanders for me, at this point no reconstruction for me. Glad to hear your second surgery was so much better!
	RE: Bilateral Mastectomy Pain By JanetB, 3 months ago Forum Forum
	I’ve completed 13 of 14 Kadcyla treatments. They have been much easier on me than chemo. When I started treatments, I was given Zofran to prevent nausea but I discovered it was the cause of uncomforta...

	Glad to hear you’ve got it figured out and taken care of!!!!
	RE: Bilateral Mastectomy Pain By Buttercup, 3 months ago Forum Forum
	First off... If you had bilateral how is it that you still have cancer cells in the breast area... or is it closer to the back or underarm? If they know where it is why not surgically remove it ? Yo...
	RE: Wound Healing at the T-Juncture By Creativewithcancer, 3 months ago Forum Forum
	I thought I would follow up in case anyone else is looking for into on this in the future. I did end up with another surgery to debried (sp?) and repair the incisions on both sides. The second surgery...
