So my body decided it would be fun to wait a week after some bleeding, not a period, to give me a full blown period. In 2 days I've spent £20 on products. I can't sleep again with it and pain is bad I would gladly operate on myself to get itvout and get the pain gone. I can't take much more. I can't do anything, breathing hurts let alone actually being a mom. Feel like my kids would be better if I just gave them to social services
Oh Scared mom-you really need to speak to someone. Treatment will stop the bleeding but you need some help before then. Who can you phone today? Do you have a number for the department/nurse at the hospital? Are you in the uk? Can you phone 111?
I would also suggest you phone Macmillan Support to talk to someone- its 0808 808 00 00. You need to talk with someone urgently. Please call them xx
Hi scared mom
Why are you not going to be able to hug your six year old for a week? xx
Ah, you maybe mean brachytherapy which happens at the end of the combined chemo and radiation? Brachytherapy is internal radiation and sometimes involves a hospital stay (it depends on the equipment and method the hospital uses). I was scheduled to be in for 2 nights but I’ve not heard of anyone being in for a week. That’s a while away yet though as it does happen at the end after the other treatments. xx
Hi Angela
You're right-brachytherapy isn’t a stand alone treatment. It usually follows chemoradiation. Your hospital must have different equipment to mine-many ladies have this done as several short outpatient appointments. I was being treated at a specialist cancer hospital, yet they only had the equipment to do the in patient version of it. xx
