Well I guess the news is good.
They said they have found the tumor early and I have been officially staged as 1B.
So they have booked me in for a hysterectomy. If my lymph nodes are clear then than that is all the treatment I will need so I guess I should be grateful that it looks like I wont need chemo/radiation, but am just struggling so much with the fact that we wont be able to have a family. It just seems so unfair, and to have that snatched away from you so quickly just makes what should be good...
I have had my fourth chemo today. my Oncologist is very pleased with my responce to Caelyx. my blood tests had been going up so l had a ct scan to see if it was working which it is so l am very pleased because l had thought l might have to be starting again.
so l am planning a birdwatching trip to celebrate.

Well, my husband had his 10 days radiotherapy in Dec.09 (not Nov.as I said previously) which he sailed through with only minor tiredness.
Christmas and New Year were spent very quietly, on our own. How difficult it is to make conversation when both are watching the same television programmes and only talking to the MacMillan Nurse every ten or so days.
The only follow-up appointment my husband has is with the Oncologist on the 18th Feb. Our Mac Nurse says that this is only to ask, 'How did you cope...
Well am finding it really difficult tonight so thought i just would write some stuff down. Get it out there and then maybe I can get some sleep.
Have my appointment with my consultant tommorrow to find out what treatment plan is. Except I already know whether it is just surgery or chemo/radiation either way my husband and I will never be able to hav the family we wanted. Im only 28. I know I should be focussing on getting better and staying alive but I am just stuck dwelling on this and cant seem...
…. but aren’t always right! Hands up … who amongst us judges others on their first impression of them? If we’re honest I think we all do to some extent. I should know not to really, considering I have great fun changing the impressions people make of me! Roll back the clock to diagnosis day. Everything happened backwards anyway, secondaries were diagnosed first, the next day the primary was confirmed and then in to the office of the last person to be introduced, the...
Hi everyone im paul and sarah is my partner. Sarah is off to see the docs 2moz for the first time after her chemo as finish i hope everything is ok. Then on thursday she off to see the other doc for the first time after radiotheopy we got a busy week. I do hope everything goes well.
I should have bought shares in Andrex!
Can quite believe how many times I am going to the loo a day.
Probably 8 times a day since the operation. I used to be a once a day man.
I hope this settles down soon as I am going back to work on 15th February
Hi everyone...i had some great news yesterday...got my scan results and he said they were CLEAR...nothing detected on the scan. What a relief after all the dark thoughts i'd been having...he was still a bit cautious....he said he couldnt rule out the possibility of further treatment in the future..but...for now im clear...and that is what i wanted to hear...i have to alternate now between him and the gynae oncologist every 3 months.
Im going back to work at easter...i have to give my immune...
Hi
had first lot of chemo Friday, doing ok, better than what I thought I would be,
feeling tired and fed up with not being able to do normal stuff without getting
out of breath. Its hard on my girls, they hate seeing Mum not well.....
Someone thought it would be a good idea to stop Bert's tablets for agitation and aggression,bearing in mind it has taken the Mac nurse almost 2 months to get the dose right for him at and the fact that there is now CNS involvement. I did tell them that this was not a good idea but they new better than me. They were warned last night that he was getting very aggressive but did they listen to me !! No they didn't.
At 4.30 am he kicked off big style so much so that they had to call security...
