Me and my story

1 minute read time.

Where do i start, Up until a month ago i was happy and enjoying life. I lived with my husband and just found out we were expecting our first child. A baby something i always wanted and here it was.

We went along to my first scan really excited - didnt know what to expect but just wanted to see our little baby inside me. The nurse rubbed this cold jelly over my tummy and pressed down with her machine. Me and my husband hand and hand watched the screen, then the nurse stopped moving and said she woulod have to go and get a doctor to have look. That was it i knew there was something wrong.

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The best option for me was to abort the baby, have surgery and chemo. this would leave me not able to have any more children - the one thing i really wanted. No chance. My husband agreed with the doctors and pressed me to get rid - again no chance.

A few weeks later i began experiencing pain in my tummy. A few days later i started bleeding. My worst fears as i was taken to hospital and it was confirmed that i had sadly miscarried.  I felt so empty and decided best thing to do was keep myself occupied. Went to work the following day and as i was doing some bits and peices in the church the phone wrang and it was to take a funeral - that of a young child...I broke down - i couldnt do this anymore my faith was gone.

My husband told me when i went home i was being silly...to get on with it - its not the end of the world.

Thank you for reading and goodnight...xxx

    Words fail me too! I hope you will be able to tell a doctor about this, especially those suicidal thoughts. Do your parents live within your neghbourhood, or will you need to register with someone else? Don't let this delay your treatment, however you feel at the moment. Perhaps some eggs could be frozen - don't give up. I can't believe anyone could be so cruel - it is completely shocking.

    Lots of love and hugs XXX

    What a statement, get on with it indeed. Go see a doctor/counsellor/mac nurse and take that husband of yours with you as well. He might just learn something,from it, like how to be compassionate and supportive. I'm stuck for words.

    I think he needs help in anger management as well. I just love these 'get on with it' types if they got cancer they would fall apart, just like the rest of us !!!   Words fail me with this guy, a good slap might do him a bit of good.

    Im was so moved & upset by your story that i had to reply to you. Im on here as a carer( my mum has terminal cancer) but i did have 2 horrible miscarrages last year & each time, it took a piece of me away. Of course, i dont have the battle that you have ahead of you with regards the ovarian cancer. Im so sorry that your husband has acted this way. My husband did act rather strangely when i did miscarry & did have the attitude that "all's not lost". I on the other hand was so deep in grief & so alone, i felt like you. We did eventually start to understand each others approach to grief & how different it was for both of us. Your whole life had changed in the blink of an eye- cancer diagnosis, miscarrage, marital problems, lose of faith. Any one of these problems would be considered as one of lifes biggest trauma & here you are experiencing them all together. My only advise to you is stay as strong as you possible can, Evangeline suggested maybe getting some eggs frozen, if you can clear your head, maybe look to the future & plan for it now.You must take care of yourself, you are the number one priority now. I feel so sorry for your having lost your faith which was clearly such a big part of your life. Ive personally never had the gift of faith but i have been envious of those who are blessed with it, ive seen it help them in some of the darkest hours. I hope you are able to reconsile with your faith, if thats what you want. Please take care of yourself & please dont let delay your treatment. Try & look to the future if you can. The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. I hope your days will be gentle. Clo xx
