Hi I'm hoping someone can give me some advice and poss out my mind at rest. I went into hospital with kidney stones and uti last wk. They did a ct a nice which has shown and enlarged spleen and swollen nodes. The urology team discharged me as kidney stones have passed and they could send me home with antibiotics for my uti. Before leaving the ward a gentleman came and intruded himself as a heamotoloist specialising in lymphoma. I was frozen to the spot. He explained what they had found and that they...
Well, today's the day. My op is at one this afternoon. I had sardines on toast before seven and am drinking only water til eleven when I have to stop. We will be leaving at eleven so not drinking will be easy as it is a two bus journey. I want to arrive at the hospital half an hour early so we can find out where everything is and stuff. Dean bought me a new dress to wear in case I come home with a catheter.
Woken up this morning feeling so anxious. 5 weeks until I see my consultant. Too long in my eyes. Been trying to call her secretary to see if there's an earlier appointment but can't get through.
I've got so many unanswered questions! A list as long as my arm. Here are some of them;
• What's the chance of it developing into cancer
• Is it with or without Atypia
• Will my fertility be affected
• Any other treatment other than a hysterectomy or Mirena
• Will you...
Finally received my results letter following my hysteroscopy 25 days ago. The longest wait of my life!
The polyp removed was benign (yay) but the biopsy taken from my womb showed overreacting cells called Complex Hyperplasia. I'm not sure if it's with or without atypia.
So it's just pre cancer and not full blown cancer.
The consultant suggests a Mirena Coil and I have an appointment with her in 5 weeks time.
Not sure how I feel at the moment. Obviously I'm glad it's not cancer...

It's a lovely day in Bristol this morning. I shall take advantage and get some shopping done. I'll be off my feet for a few days after the op tomorrow so may as well prepare. I shall get loads of spring water cos I have to drink a couple of litres a day plus for the first week. A bit nervous about the anaesthetic but not too much. Wondering what my prognosis and any further treatment will be...
I am beginning to get a bit nervous. Only two more sleeps. I have packed a small bag but doubt I'll have to stay in or anything. It's a step nearer to relieving the uncertainty. I hope and pray my result is treatable.
Hello all!
I have no excuses. I have been lax and should have attempted a blog before now. Lets face it, there has been ample opportunity with the amount of time I have spent in hospital or hospice. Maybe I should have been blogging instead of watching back episodes of Supervet.
Thing is. I just didn't feel like it. I couldn't seem to raise the energy to get the laptop out or the energy to get my brain moving. I guess you could blame that on drugs or really being incapable (which on some...
I should get my results letter tomorrow or Tuesday, fingers crossed!
The last few days I've been plagued by a cold and I've gone through hundreds of tissues!
Last night I had nausea and cramps and this morning I've got very bad cramps and a dodgey stomach! Plus headaches and backache it's safe to say I'm feeling sorry for myself.
Quite proud that I've been so patient for this long but it's running out and I just want to know!
I'll do an update when I've received...
I am pleased with myself. I needed a dressing gown for hospital but having to put £60 away for bus fares and taxis next week meant I couldn't buy a new one. I just checked one of the local charity shops and picked up an almost new, anklelength, hooded bathrobe for £1.50!
I'm in a bit of pain today, wee is a bit pink. Luckily I just picked up my Tramadol prescription. I've taken two so it should ease off soon. I'm still relatively calm. Reading everything I can find on bladder cancer...
