Topic: RE: Cancer after gastric bypass

My specialist has never examined any eating regimen confinements or issues. I'm not certain if this was since he was mindful a year ago that the surgery in the not so distant future might be essential and he felt that was a greater amount of an issue or possibly my eating regimen isn't an issue on the grounds that all my kidney capacity test outcomes have been great.

So sad to hear you need to join the club that neither man nor woman needs to be a part of. In spite of the fact that I have an alternate sort of tumor than you, I know the feelings you are experiencing.

Topic: RE: prophylactic mastectomy after RNY

Thanks....I plan on getting the ovaries out....pretty soon, but didn't want to argue too much with my doctor, as she was already being a bit "stretched" by the hysterectomy to begin with...plus the mastectomy on top of it...I figure once I heal from everything, I can go back and push on the ovaries...I was in menopause before they did my uterine ablation(s), and given the fact that those did not really "work", the simple hysterectomy was the simplest thing to get approved without the brca testing.

 

I am a bit worried about ovarian cancer, but I had more people in my family die from Gastro intestinal cancers....so I guess I am sort of going down a list of "more likely possibilities" in my head, and dealing with some "not that great" health insurance at the moment.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience....I found a website for people having mastectomies, but seems like few of them have had WLS.  So, thank you.

I am surprised they won't take the ovaries. I would be concerned about ovarian cancer. We don't us usually know we have it until it is too late. I didn't have my ovaries out until I was 50, but that is when I found out I was brca1 positive. Prior to that, I was on tamoxifen as a preventative which started when I was 45. That put me in medical menopause. Since I was unable to conceive prior to that, I really had no issue with it. To be honest, the ovarian cancer threat scared me more than the breast cancer threat, I guess because my mother had ovarian cancer. You are right, you have lots of things to consider, compounded by the insurance issue. I wish you luck in your journey.
