My journey started with a trip to the GP because of vaginal bleeding,i was worried it could be cancer,but everyone around me was desperate to deny the possibility in order to make me feel better. After various scans i had an appointment with the consultant and was told i had cancer of the womb,and would need a full hysterectomy, Tim my husband was with me we were both shell shocked, the date for the operation was in a couple of weeks, that was not pleasant i had an incision down the centre of my abdomen which they did tell me but i still found it hard to look at. I had the staples out on the tenth day and guess what! just went to sit down the whole lot came undone, now that was traumatic, i ended up back in hospital and another general anaesthetic because no healing had taken place and it needed repairing internally, 10 days later had some of the stitches out i wouldn't let the nurse do the whole lot as i was afraid it would happen again. Six weeks on i still feel a bit weak but doing well i am driving and doing most of what i used to do, but tomorrow is Chemo day! Today i have cut my hair very short looks awful, i want to make some hats and as my hair is very thick i need to get it short toget the fit right. Like everyone else facing chemo i am terrified what its going to be like but at the same time bring it on, so i know what i have to deal with and also get it over with. I havent slept properly now for a long time and last night was particularly bad hope once we start i might relax a bit more! Lyn
