Almost 3 years since my diagnosis, it was just a routine 6 month check up. Except, the Oncologist says "I'll see you in 4 months" due to my Ca125 being slightly elevated from last time. It was disappointing but I assured myself that she was just being overly cautious UNTIL 2 days later when I got the call to say my Pap Smear was slightly abnormal.
And so it begins ..... all the old fears return. I haven't shared this with anyone yet (apart from hubby who is trying desperately to hide the fact that he's just as scared as I am). Why worry and upset the kids, family and friends? after all it could be nothing ..... 4 months will be soon enough to tell them I'm going to be needing their love, support and encouragement again.
