Ok going to try and get a blog of last few days to let everyone know how it is going in Bunland.
Well I went to see the 'Nice man' at the hospital on Monday and he was a nice man. He was reassuring - saying he saw lots of ladies with similar issues to mine and that my age and size - he called me slim - i love him lol - suggests that it is unlikely to be cancer. However, I had to have biopsy.
This is not for the squeamish - if you are a lady and have had to go every three years for the usual check of lady bits then you know the procedure. Now imagine someone taking a biopsy - no anaesthetic - ouch i hear you say - medieval torture I say. Anyway they have a piece of me now and I should get results by the end of the week. - more waiting
later the same day got a call to say that the fibroid they have found is going to be removed on 3rd Oct.
Had letter confirming that today and nearly freaked out as it said I was going to Gynaecology Oncology - I rang up saying 'Have i been diagnosed with cancer then?' As no-one had told me!! Poor receptionist apologised so profusely - apparently as i was fast tracked by Gp I saw gyn/onc - now I think well at least he knows what he is talking about then - and he called me slim :)
She reassured me that the fibroid was benign and was going to be removed on that date as they had a 30 minute slot that needed filling. happy to oblige i say. After picking myself off floor and mopping up tears and deep breathing I think well at least that will go.
Now all I have to do is wait for a call to tell me whether they have found any nasties in the biopsy.
Missing all you lovely people - hope this works
