Hi Nas, so glad there's no spread & that you're likely to have the surgery very soon.  Please message me any time if I might be able to help with any qs about the hysterectomy or whatever.

Hello Nas,
Sorry you have all this going on but glad to hear you know what is what now and it's contained in the womb & with surgery soon. Like Dotty said, I've also followed your story for a long time (albeit off radar) and know you have been through the wringer with it all.  I wish you well going forwards with each step and I'm sure once you've had the hysterectomy, it will be a welcome relief to be out of all the pain, discomfort etc  I remember the shock I felt at being diagnosed but to be out of all the months of second guessing and in and out of the doctors trying to find out what was going on, to then finally getting it all taken out brought utter relief. Take care x

[Nas]

Thanks once again ladies 
I am very pleased to have gotten to the bottom of it all, once and for all.
All this second guessing etc, plays havoc with ones mental health!

Ana21, that is very typical of some cancers I think, in that often there are no symptoms and you do feel perfectly fine. I remember when I had the breast cancer diagnosis 14 years ago, other than the lump, I felt perfectly fine. It was the chemo which took the wind out of me and made me feel ill!

Wren, I will probably message you at some point, with a heap of questions! 

I feel in safe hands now that I have been 'handed over' to the experts. No more endless GP apppointments, trying various pain killers etc etc.

Will keep you all updated of course and hope that soon, there will be light at the end of the tunnel!

So there we are. Ladies, if you have any post meno bleeding/aches/pains, that is not usual for you, don;t hesitate to get it checked out.

I would not have been referred onto the two week cancer pathway, if I had not reported three separate episodes of bleeding to my GP. I could have easily left it and put it down to the HRT. Normal gynae wait where I am, is around 50 weeks!

I also want to send my very best wishes to you Nas as you go forward.
I wanted to copy your quote so it doesn't get lost as your message is so important, its hard to believe that some women still ignore symptoms.

[Nas]

Thank you Ayesha,
It can be tricky to get to the bottom of these things, as so many of us are finding out.

Fibroids can cause pain and bleeding. So can 101 other conditions.

Even the gynae who referred me for the MRI, said "fibroids often shrink during menopause, nothing to worry about"
Well, I am, 5 years post meno and not only has the thing developed, it has also grown quickly.
The MRI also revealed features which the CT scan did not.

If in doubt, keep pushing for tests/scans/whatever

Bless you Nas, please do message me any time.

Take care and keep us updated.

Good luck I hope surgery is quick and goes well. Couple of tips fill your freezer with plenty of meals and do a spring clean of your house when you can before. Have plenty of peppermint tea or oil for after surgery x

[Nas]

Thanks for the tips Donna-paul.
I’d better get my act together I guess and start sorting the house etc.

Can’t say I’m looking forward to the next few weeks, but the decision has been taken out of my hands now.

Floral, Jenna, Kathleen, thankyou for you good wishes. Here we go then…💪 x

[Sage 🍃]

All my fingers are crossed for you, Nas 

[Nas]

Thanks Sage 😊

[Mary G]

I also want to wish you the best Nas.  Thank goodness the operation is going ahead soon.  Your diagnosis certainly explains the dreadful pain and bleeding.  It's good news about it being contained in the womb too. 

Please keep us updated on your progress.
