Awake and up all night

Hi sweetie. I reckon I'd be worn out if I'd had all you've had done recently. You sound like a real trooper  

I'm intrigued - was teaching your profession? I worked in a school for many years but in a pastoral role. My charges had behavioural issues, and I think a touch of Mozart or Debussy would have done the trick to be honest.

You'll be in my thoughts when your RT starts, and wishing you all the best xxx

Sorry I have a question okay first let me explain I had stomach cancer or blood palvic cancer not sure which I was 3½ when was diagnosed anyway I founded out this year that at that time they that I had hestertemy my question if anyone can please answer do those that had hestertemy get that time of month pains I get the stomach pains but no blood since I never had any apparently sorry if I'm insensitive or rude I just wanted to know if I am still a female even if I don't have the motherly instincts and might never have them 

Good evening Rubyrose, and a very warm welcome to our group which I hope you'll find both supportive and informative.

You're neither insensitive or rude my love, and no questions are ever considered too daft. Did you mean hysterectomy? If you did, there's another group where you'll find others who can answer your questions far better than I can. But there are some ladies here who've also had the procedure I believe, so maybe they can offer advice when they see your post. I'd consider you a woman in every sense, regardless of what you went through at such a young age. Maybe one of our dedicated Community Champions can provide a link to the appropriate forum for you, but please feel free to post and chat here anytime you like. Sending you hugs xxx

Thanks Gill. Yes I was a primary school teacher and later head of 4 schools ( only two at the same time). I.loved it. Sometimes the children chose the music. I sometimes used The Flight of the Bumble Bee when I wanted them to tidy up quickly.

Rimsky-Korsocov, one of my absolute favourites! I think I'll have to play that when I want to get cracking with my chores.

Wow, head of four schools! I was made head of Years 5 to 8 and that was more than enough for me, but I enjoyed it too and especially the interaction with the kids. I retired early when all the middle schools in the area closed down, which was a shame.

No luck with nodding off then? That's a shame too, so I hope you don't need to get up early today xxx

Hi i had a hysterectomy a long time ago due to endometriosis.i don't think myself any less a woman.and you should not either. Sending hugs 

Hi Lynne.

I hope Rubyrose sees your post as you've got something in common. I'm sure she'll appreciate your sentiments and I agree with them too. Hugs to you sweetheart xxx

Hi thank you sending  hugs to you 

Can't work out to post without replying to someone 

Does this chat extend to family members who can't sleep?

Last night the music worked, good idea from my grandson. Sounds like you had a fun early Christmas, Good luck for your first treatment . The fatigue could possibly be as a result of all you are going through. I found since being told i had cancer in the cervix in October, ive  had such a wave of emotions, some days I have felt drained. The waiting and not knowing had been the worst. Once I found out what im dealing with, my emotions have stabilised. Im getting a bit more sleep. I wish you well and hope you enjoy the rest of the Christmas period. Hugs,, Lesley xx
