Feel I'm just making a fuss

I'm having hysterectomy in about 10 days time. They found pre cancer merging into grade 1. I read about higher grade cancers, and just think I should not even be here. I can't even justify being here by saying I'm supporting anyone else. Not even sure why I'm posting this. 

I was offered hysterectomy at the beginning of the year and had to say no because I have two young adult children who need my support, especially the younger one, who called me gone midnight yesterday. Used to be frequent but at least doesn't happen so often. We had spent the afternoon with her and she is in supported living with 24 hour live in, so I didn't answer.

We told her about my imminent surgery but did not mention cancer. She started ramping up everything the following day. She has a diagnosis of bipolar. She is desperate for attention regardless of how much attention she is given. So she has now progressed from calling the mental health crises team repeatedly, to calling 111 repeatedly, to now calling 999 saying she is about to walk in front of a car. She has been taken to the police station and to A&E twice last week. How do I go ahead with surgery instead of sticking a bit longer with a coil hoping that will start working.

Don't even know if this should be here or in womb cancer so dropping it in both groups. 

Thanks for reading.

  • Due to her attachment disorder, mental health, and learning disabilities she is totally unable to deal with me being unwell or needy in any way. She is on strong medication but of course will not have had this since yesterday morning. She will,have missed a full day of medication. She is very vulnerable and could be anywhere.she has no money and no way of getting any other than selling herself.

  • Hope u hear where she is soon x

  • She finally called me about 4.30. Eventually told me where she was. I got her and at the moment she is here. Staff from her support agency are collecting her later and have arranged somewhere for her for a couple of nights. She is refusing to go back to her placement. The other girl is a real nightmare and the only way I can describe what is happening is it feels/looks like domestic abuse.

  • So glad you've heard from your daughter and the staff have arranged somewhere else for her to stay for a few nights.

    This will make it so much easier for you to have your op tomorrow.
