BLEEDING

Hi Mamaden My symptoms started with very small pink spots of blood occasionally and then progressed to what was similar to a light period with cramps which only lasted a day and was just before my diagnosis.  Have you been allocated a CNS yet?  If so you could contact her tomorrow to put your mind at rest perhaps.  I only had it happen once and then my surgery was a few weeks later.  I can fully understand that you feel scared, I was too, it is quite normal to be, and don't worry, we talk about anything and everything here!  

Hugs, Lesley x

Thank you. What’s a CNS? I have a McMillan Nurse assigned so I was going to call her. I just want this over with. Sorry.

A CNS is Cancer Nurse Specialist so probably the same thing.  I understand how you feel, hopefully she will be able to reassure you.

Thank you x

It’s probably just part and parcel of the problem you already know about. If the bleeding becomes very heavy you should contact someone urgently to make sure you don’t become anaemia. Otherwise, why not call your GP it your cancer nurse specialist for some reassurance.

Womb lining cancer causes variable bleeding due to its basic nature. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s getting any worse. It’s usual to have to wait a few weeks for your surgery and that doesn’t do any harm. However, like I say, just like if you were having a period, if it gets too heavy, you might need something to slow it down so you don’t get anaemic.

Your cancer nurse specialist and GP are there to support you. Don’t be afraid to seek reassurance if you’re worried.

Hi Denise.

No subject is "Off-limits" here. The more experiences we share the better as someone might be able to offer advice if they've had the same problem.

Did you call the hospital? What did they say?

I don't know your age are you post-menopausal? It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. You can amend or update it at any time. (If you're not sure not to write click on my Username)

Sending gentle hugs, Barb xx

Hi Barb,

I'm 60 I have left a message for my Macmillan nurse to call me so hopefully I will have an answer soon.

I will update my profile later when I get home from work. x
