Hi I am new to the message board. Is there anyone else on the message board who has CLL? and is receiving FCR chemo therapy? Let me know. blueboys.

Did anyone else have an expander implant fitted when they had their mastectomy and then have a Diep reconstruction later? just wondering how it turned out as I was recommended to have the expander to preserve my skin, but the plastic surgeon says it might make recon more difficult and he would not have recommended it! I was reluctant to have any implant but thought it would give the best end result, now I'm not so sure! Karen

Hi, I wish to recommend -hopefully I can- ...

I know some place do mind. In this case sorry for that. [b:dq5w5lu0]From webmaster: [/b:dq5w5lu0] Sorry to edit your post but we can't allow advertising on the message board.

Hi ladies Just wondering if anyone has had to have their tendon seperated following Latissimus Dorsi reconstruction? It looks like this is on the cards for me. I blocked my ears when the surgeon started talking about it the other day & told her we might talk about it over a cup of tea in a few months! But of course now I'm curious and keeping true to myself, I haven't been able to see much about it on the normal, reliable websites. Anyone been through this?

Hi just wondering if anyone suffered chronic radiation enteritis of the bowel after radiation treatment. I was hoping to share information and discuss this problem with someone experiencing similar side effects - nausea, loss of appetite, pain etc. I am currently on a lactose free diet and am trying various foods to see what suits my current constitution. Thanks, John
