It's been a while since my last blog. I've now had some tests, including the one I was really dreading, the hysteroscopy.
First of all I got a text from the GP to ask me to book an appointment to discuss results of my blood tests. I immediately went into total panic mode. My CA125 must be high, I've got ovarian cancer, I'm going to die, etc. My anxiety went into overdrive. When the doctor called I immediately…

She made my brother promise not to tell me as she was concerned about worrying me when I was only just out of hospital myself. My brother lives at home with my Mum and is…
Hi. Well, I got through it of course, as we all have to do.
I had to get to the hospital for 7.30am. I got to see the nurse first of all to get my lovely wrist bracelets and super stylish stockings and had blood pressure done. Then got to see the surgeon who I had not met before. The consultant I had seen when I got my results was on holiday. I had re-read my letter and he was not on the breast units staff list, so when…
