I had my pre-op assessment today - loads more leaflets! The ECG readout showed a slightly low sinus - what's that all about?
Just found out a colleague of hubby's (an ex-colleague of mine) also has gynae issues, she's going for a colposcopy/biopsy same day as my op, gynae cancer must be so common now. Another friend is suffering an ectopic pregnancy but she hasn't told me herself so I can not comfort her.…

I would need a scan and a hysterectomy which would be within a time frame of 6 weeks.
