Hi to all you legendary women!
I’ve just received my diagnosis. The current plan is for a radical hysterectomy. I was told my MRI would be within days then had the appointment through today for 2 weeks time. No idea how I’ll manage that wait. Is this normal?
Hi JJM433c77 and welcome to our group.
I’m sorry you’ve had this diagnosis, but if you are able to have a radical hysterectomy then that would mean it’s a lower stage of cancer-though any diagnosis is horrible and scary.
Your timescale for getting an mri scan is very normal-we all expect things to happen immediately but unfortunately that’s not how it works in reality. Waiting is a huge part of the diagnostic process for us all, and it’s one of the worst parts of this whole thing-waiting for scans, results and treatment or surgery to happen.
The only thing you can do is try to keep yourself as busy and as distracted as possible while you wait, and there will be a wait after the scan to get the results too. Let us know how you get on, and if you’re having surgery, there are lots of other ladies in the group who have been through this who will be able to help support you through. Feel free to ask any questions or share any worries as you think of them.
