Hi, l have had a most awful year. I had a gastric sleeve done in September and spent just under a week recovering well, l had an appt already booked with my doctor to check in to see how l was afterhe operation. The night before l had a very, very painful headache, which was alot worse than my migraines. So to cut a long story short if l can, went to see my doctor who took my temp and pulse
c and said that l needed to get to hospital as an emergency. When l got there after lots of tests and scans, l had got sepsis, e-coli and a serious kidney infection, l very nearly died. In the sc
s and after more investigation it was discovered that l have got cancer in my left lung and grade 2 womb cancer. I suffer from depression and anxiety anyway, but its been awful for the last two wee
. I have good days and bad days. I'm really hoping that l dont feel down tomorrow
my mind always feel as though there are lots of questions but l feel as though l cant admit that lm a cancer sufferer.
Hi lesleysmum welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here.
What an awful time you have had after your gastric sleeve! It sounds horrid. Thank goodness the GP sent you to the hospital when he did.
That must of been an awful shock to find out you have womb and lung cancer. My cancer started in my womb. If you click my profile picture it will take you to my profile where you can read my journey.
It is all still very new for you, so you are bound to have good and bad days, but I hope you have a lovely day tomorrow x
