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.

I've been diagnosed with stage 2 renal cell carcinoma. I'm 29. Has anyone been through this? I'm told odds are very good but it's still terrifying. I am waiting for a date for a nephrectomy

Post mastectomy and chemo

Last reply: 04 February 2021 14:00
Hello all, so I had 2 small tumors and pre cancer cells. Tumors were 8mm and around 1cm. My lymph nodes were clear. I had my mastectomy in Oct 2020 and just finishing up chemo soon (4 rounds of TC). No radiation as margins were clear etc. Lately I've been feeling my mastectomy scar if that makes sense and I have shoulder and arm pain. Not severe but it's there. I've been assured my cancer is gone but my mind is not in a positive zone and so I'm imagining all sorts. What have other peoples experiences been post mastectomy and chemo? Am I nuts or should I worry? Thank you

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

Teeth falling apart

Last reply: 24 January 2021 15:35
Over the last few months my teeth have been falling apart. Has this happened anyone else? I had 6 months of chemo and 33 sessions of RT. Finished this last year. It has been a bit of a shock as I look after them!! Sunflower
