I have just been diagnosed and I am waiting for an operation date
Most of the posts on here are about or from men
I would love to hear from women who have had treatment
I am shocked and so sad that this is happening to you
Sending lots of love, Tina X
Everything will be ok sweetheart, just got to get the op out the way and adjust to a new way of life. Jane is such an inspiration, she’s had it and has such a great quality of life afterwards, so I’m focusing on that and getting better xxxx
I agree with you to focus on the outcome and not the op-I found that helpful. You can live a good and completely normal life afterwards and you soon adapt to the fact that you just don’t go to the loo in the same way as before!
