Hi All
A little introduction.
I was diagnosed with womb cancer last July and had a hysterectomy on 29th July, unfortunately my wound took 12 weeks to heal (infection & diabetes didn't help) having to have daily dressing changes, the nurses were great and helped to keep my spirits up.
I had 25 rounds of radiotherapy and 2 brachytherapies finishing at the end of November. I started chemo on 15th January and my oncologist has predicted 4-6 rounds. My husband has been extremely supportive, being retired he's been with me all the way and of course took on all the "pink jobs" while I recovered from my op.
I have a grown up daughter & son, and luckily, also have a GP for a daughter-in-law who has been most helpful too with information & support.
If I can help anyone with information of my experience please feel free to ask.
