Thanks Donna-paul and Suzy,
Like you Donna, I just want it all out asap. I don’t think I can wait six weeks though!

They have already assigned me this nurse and I think ( if I heard the consultant correctly) that I may be having the surgery done at The Christie hospital. That suggests to me, that they must be feeling fairly confident with what they are thinking?

Why are you having your gallbladder out? Are they taking all your organs away? ( feel free to message me if you would prefer) How are you coping with no HRT? Why do you need to stop if you don’t have any organs for the oestrogen to influence? 

Xx
I really hope you get operated soon I think the stage you are at is the worst it’s the all what ifs. Once you know what you are dealing with and have the op you can start healing physically and mentally. Do take any help offered to you I didn’t and now 6 months it’s hitting me as well as lack of hormones. Im doing ok worse bit is hot flushes night sweats and sleep problems. Like suzysunday said some Dr really don’t want you taking hrt  after cancer mine did reluctantly say if symptoms got severe I could have a low dose. I did have lumps in my breasts at same time so had to have lots of tests which did come back clear the Breast dr was anti hrt. Im trying to manage without it has to be your choice. My gallbladder has decided to play up so need to come out😔 be thinking of you keep strong

Thanks Donna,
I really appreciate you sharing your story with me.

I had my CT scan today, but they couldn’t fit the canula ( bad veins from chemo for breast cancer 14 years ago) So they said that I may have to go back and have it redone and have canula fitted beforehand.

My MDT meeting is on Friday. They will then share with me their findings and treatment plan. This is the worst bit, the waiting.

 I just want the thing out my body. I don’t trust my body, not any more. It seems to like to  grow sinister things!

Sorry to hear about your gall bladder playing up, another useless and troublesome organ!

I just get an incling that things aren’t going to be straight forward!

Nas I just seen this, I had a hysterectomy many years ago and was ok to still use my patches.  Best wishes x

[Sage 🍃]

Best wishes from me too

Nas,

Just read your post and wishing you the best.  We'll all be on tenterhooks until Friday, waiting for the findings.

Do you know the cause of the fluid in your lungs?  I didn't see anything in the thread about your lungs and whether it's related to the fibroid.

[Nas]

Thanks Sage and Floral x

Blimey Nas,
It's just going on and on for you. I know the waiting is hard, every day just drags when you just need some full answers. But Friday sounds more positive if a plan of action will be out in place. It's a slow journey and a hellish one but you seem to be getting closed to some positive action. You've just been through so much. You can do this, look at the times you have had to boost me - I have had the year from hell but somehow am still standing.

Keep going partner,Friday will be a big day, take someone with you? To listen to the bits you may miss or take notes for you and just be there for you.

I don’t know the cause of fluid in the lungs yet Ana, I’m
guessing that’s why they’ve done the CT today.

Just hoping it’s a straightforward hysterectomy, end of.

Hello again Nas.

Thank you so  much for the update and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you on Friday.

Sending you best wishes and lots of hugs.

Nas, I'm sorry to come to this thread late but I wanted to wish you all the best for Friday.  Hopefully you can get the whole lot taken away as soon as possible.  That in itself will be a massive relief for you.

I can say in all honesty that I have yet to meet a woman who has regretted having a hysterectomy. 

[Nas]

I don’t think It’s a fibroid at all.
It’s only the u/s scan which suggests a fibroid. The MRI reveals a very different picture and the two don’t tally.

MRI says concerning features.
Fibroids in the main, are benign
and distinguished. Mine isn’t. My letter says the opposite of benign. 

[Nas]

Thankyou Mary.
Honestly, if they called me in now to perform a hysterectomy, I would pack a bag and jump in my car and go! The waiting is awful.

[suzysunday]

As SarahT said, you have helped people on here including myself. It really is awful waiting results so again hoping things have a positive outcome for you x

[Nas]

Thanks suzy 
I am thinking if you too and will pop you a message this week x

[suzysunday]

I will message you tomorrow as I have a bit of news but it's not great.  X
