Hi all,

Im Kayleigh, 36, diagnosed two weeks ago. No idea what I’m doing, just showing up to appointments and hoping for the best haha!

im in a lot of discomfort at the moment as i have a growth that causes all sorts of issues when i have a bowel movement but in crossing everything they will remove it during my EUA on Monday!

Hope everyone is doing ok today. Had my PET scan earlier today… waiting to see which superpower I get assigned!

  • So pleased to hear all went well today, time to take it easy now and recover. I didn't have surgery, so not sure what will happen next re your treatment plan, but fantastic to hear they got all the visible growth. 

    Wishing you healing and time to chill. Intrigued to hear more about your Tommy Tippee adventures!

  • Hi Kayleigh,

    The packing still freaks me out a little, and I've needed it on several occasions now! I take a bath in Epsom salts every night, so that's where I soak it out. 

    Takes a while sometimes.

    Feels VERY odd. 

    Hugs

  • Ooh I didn’t know you could soak it out? They said it would pass with my bowel movement which has immediately made me have some sort of psychological block about going.

    It is bizarre that the only thing that has genuinely worried and upset me this far is this silly packing thing!

    Thank you for that, you’re a superstar!

  • Hello Kayleigh

    I am so pleased that at least that part of the treatment is over - sorry I can't help with the packing part but I see you have already had some answers on how to cope ejecting that!

    And hopefully at least  you will be a bit more comfortable as you go forward with your treatment.

    Let us know how things go.
