I was referred to gynaecology because I had intermittent heavy bleeding.
They thought it may be my coil that is displaced so he wanted to have a look and try to remove.
unfortunately as soon as the clamp was inserted I bled out badly. He then noticed a lesion of about 5cm on my Cervix.
He straight away organised for me to have a biopsy that day. I had to stay in over night until bleeding was under control. I’m home now and awaiting my appointment for MRI and my Results from Biopsy.
I’m so worried as I’m a single mum of 2 teenagers and last year we went through a horrific trauma so we are so close the 3 of us. It is worrying me so much.
my kids compete on horses and depend on me so much I just hope we can keep doing what we love.
Has anyone else had similar or can prepare me for what may happen next.
This is going to be a long two weeks.
thankyou xxx
Hi Victoria
I’m glad it’s helping you to talk with everyone. It can be very difficult to feel you are burdening your family, who will be seeing this from a different perspective and will be so worried for you but cannot fully understand what it’s like to have a cancer diagnosis.
If they are going to hit you hard, and you will likely lose your hair, it sounds like they will give you a chemo mix before you start the standard chemoradiotherapy treatment. This would hopefully shrink the tumour first off, then blast it with radiation.
Yes it will be tough, but it’s concentrated and intense treatment designed to get rid of the cancer and you have got the right mindset to do this.
I hope it’s not too traumatic having your coil removed, but that is clearly a necessary first step before going on with everything else.
