Hi all. I'm new here. ️ I recently was diagnosed with cc last year. I am now cancer free. After having an operation to remove it all and my uterus. I am struggling coming to terms with the fact I can no longer have any children. I do have 2 children already but to me it doesn't take away the pain I feel not being able to bear anymore. Im hoping that I am able to speak to some ladies that are in a similar position to mine as I'm finding it hard to move past it. Thank you for reading all xx
Hi Eyebrows and welcome to the group.
I hope that some of the ladies will come along to chat who are experiencing similar feelings of loss. I was post menopausal at diagnosis, and my children were already adults, so I was in a very different situation to you. I don’t know what it’s like to have your chance of another baby taken away as you have.
Have you thought about having some counselling if you’re finding it hard to move on from this? It might be an idea to talk to someone professionally to see if this could help you come to terms with things?

Hi Eyebrows,
i am sorry for your diagnosis and congratulation that you are cancer free now, that’s a huge milestone! I was diagnosed at 33 with advanced CC. I went through the chemo/ rads treatment and as a result I went though early menopause. Unfortunately I don’t have children and I found it difficult to come in terms with it as I always wanted to bear one or two. Unfortunately cancer always takes important things from each one of us. I think it is difficult to move and past it. However, what I find easier is to try to focus on what you currently have and not to what you would like having. You have two beautiful children that you are able to see them grow if you didn’t have the operation probably you would be in a worst condition. I really hope all the best.
