Today I was told I have Stage 1 Womb Cancer. I think I knew deep down but to hear a consultant look at me and say you have cancer. Is this really happening to me? For nine days I have thought about it constantly and kept "a foot in both camps" I had prepared myself for the worst but at the same time was hoping it wouldn't be that. It was so hard to listen to what she was saying trying to understand it. My immediate feeling was anger because it's been looked into twice before and I was told I was clear. That's all water under the bridge now I have to dpeal with the present. Then I thought about the nurse at my new doctors as I have just moved and she pleaded with me to come and see my new doctor and pursue it again. She was so insistent even though I thought it would be a waste of time. Because she was insistent I felt I owed it to her to follow it through and here I am. After a day of telling people it's becoming more real and I'm becoming more positive and strong. Tonight I may feel differently I am a positive person and am grateful for what I have.
