    I’m dashing through this blog post on account of me realising that it is February and my good intention to update this blog more regularly has already failed. No, hold on. We don’t say failed we say…

    success delayed

    I have also been channelling this guy: –

    No, not on account of my adorable fluffy cuteness but on the fact that I simply CANNOT be punctual.

    Warning: this post references post-surgery bleeding and pooing and tries to provide attempts at humour.

    caution

    My advice for any person who is about to have a Trachelectomy procedure and wants to know what to prepare for afterwards is this: –

    take care of yourself

    That’s the only thing you need to do now. Whether this be mentally, physically, spiritually or grammatically please engage in some selfish behaviour that isn’t even that…

    I’ve already written about what I refer to as ‘The Little Op’ which was my Pelvic EAU and Lymphadectomy (here and here) and now I’m going to be writing about what I refer to as ‘The Big Op,’ which happened nine days afterwards.

    I’ve already mentioned ‘The Big Op’ in passing a few times, but I’m going to be writing about it in more detail. And because I have a lot to say (when don’t…

    This post is going to be short and, if not sweet, then I’ll aim for mildly amusing. I may fail on both those fronts.

    Back in January (it’s all back in January) as part of my pre-surgery diagnostics I had a MRI and more details on what entailed can be found in my post here. I met with my consultant and he told me that my PET-CT and MRI showed lots of cancerous activity in my cervix. Awesome. The words every…
