So as I move away from a life dominated by cancer and appointments, it's time to try and start feeling a little like me again.
I'm the heaviest I've ever been weighing in at 11 stone, I'm happiest at around 8st 10lbs, apologies to those of you who use those new fangled kgs I have no idea what it translates to. I'm still feeling swollen I assume from the steroids, but I also have a fair amount of joint pain and wonder if carrying around this extra weight isn't helping. ...
Hi - my grandma has been diagnosed with cancer. She had been splitting her time between Canada and Uk since her husband passed. She is a Canadian citizen and is currently in Canada.

My 2nd cycle was delayed a week because my bloods hadn’t recovered enough, which apparently is quite common. I received an injection to boost my Bloods last week and I successfully started my 2nd cycle yesterday.
I’ve been feeling really good. Apart from around 9 days during the first cycle I’ve been feeling normal. It feels so good to know my lumps have reduced. My wbc are at 2.7

Its hard to reflect on this cold dreary January day without thinking...ah ye this was week two of different symptoms last year.....little did I know that an alien was already formed and growing within the lining of my uterus....i downloaded an app called ovuview in 2016 as I realised things had changed and because of the sheer heaviness of my period I had to plan ahead for life events for obvious reasons....by March it was count the days I didnt bleed - 21 days was the longest run....

Hi
I am still shocked that I have joined a Macmillan online community, just 10 days ago I was living a normal life doing normal things unaware that I even had cancer. I had surgery booked for a radical hysterectomy due to post menopausal bleeding. I even scoffed at this suggestion as I haven't even had my menopause, I was convinced this was a waste of nhs money but as I no longer needed my reproduction system and I had had problems in the past I would have this surgery. Just 48 hours ago I was...
