BIOPSY RESULTS TODAY 27 JUNE 2024

Hey that’s brilliant news x

Such a relief for you. Wishing you good health going forward. K.

Brilliant news Wilma, so pleased for you x

So great to hear you are now cancer free Wilma! Really delighted.

I understand being scared and sick. I got so scared before my repeat hysteroscopy (they found multiple polyps so it was an operative hysteroscopy with polypectomies) but every time consultant said he had to go back into my womb again to retrieve another polyp – they were hiding behind each other – I remembered your encouragement and what you went through. Thank you for helping me while going through so much yourself. I really appreciated it. And once again brilliant news!! Am so pleased to hear the hormone treatment did its job while you had that long wait for surgery. Well done for getting through all this.

Thanks it's taken a couple days to sink in xx

Thanks K xxx

As above it's still taken a few days to sink in plus I am more relieved about the genetics part although breast and ovarian fibroids and endometriosis run in the female side of my family and the male side bowel and prostate cancer, other illnesses are heart issues run on my side more than Allistair's his family seem to be dementia although his lovely father died due to heart issues.

We can relax knowing our daughter Alysha just has to look after herself keep her weight down and keep in touch with the Endocrinology Department due to Polycystic Ovaries, Fibroids, Endometriosis as for Fibromyalgia she has to listen to her body and take her medication. Some parent in the genetics department giving her Polycystic Ovaries, Endometriosis, Fibroids and Fibromyalgia hence the worry of Genetics. 

My brother in law did say you still have your small worries about symptoms but at least we have the biggest worry quashed. 

Please keep in touch with me and let me know how things are going in your department as we were so similar on so many things.

Take Good Care of YOURSELF,  Definitely Be Kind to Yourself. DO NOT LISTEN TO DOCTOR GOOGLE XXXX

And know it's your time to have your head held high  saying we'll I can meet this head on and deal with things at the present time its I think mind of matter but always remember NO DOCTOR GOOGLE, BE KIND TO YOURSELF AND MOST IMPORTANTLY 

YOU ARE NOT THE ONE THAT HAS ALL THOSE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS IN YOUR HEAD AND UNFORTUNATELY WE SEE ONLY THE WORSE ONE'S.

Hi Wilma. I joined this forum last week. I’ll be 70 years old on Saturday. I have read your case with interest as I too am obese. At 17.5 stone I’m classed as morbidly obese by some. You have been through such a lot and it’s just lovely to see you have come out the other side. What a lovely close family you seem. I was diagnosed with grade 2 to 3 (veering more to 3) last Friday. I saw a male consultant for biopsies the week before and then a lovely female consultant last Friday. She said I will need a hysterectomy and MRI and CT scans (which are this coming Friday) to see if it has spread. She actually didn’t mention my weight and it seemed as though my operation will be sooner rather than later. On the letter to my GP I am classed as high risk. I am very nervous about the MRI as they say it is more enclosed and I’m actually wondering if I will fit into the machine in the first place. I know I will cope with anything that is to come and am sure it will help when I know what I’m up against. Do they keep you in hospital longer when you are a larger lady or does it depend on the individual do you think? Once again, I am so pleased you are cancer free and wish you and your family the very best for the future. X

Hi SueB4

i have read your question to Wilma and thought I’d share with you my experience.  I am classed as morbidly obese at almost 17 stone and have some of the same health issues as Wilma however my experience is totally different.

 I was diagnosed with stage 1 grade 2 and I too was worried about the MRI, it had room, it was pretty close but it could still do its job I closed my eyes till it was over, I’m a bit claustrophobic.

My surgery was performed roboticly and it wasn’t an issue, they got everything out and the lymph nodes too.  I was home 2 days later but that was due to my mobility issues not the surgery.

I did have a problem with my wounds not healing properly but the practice nurse at the surgery treated them twice a week for 4 weeks with honey dressings and it helped clear them up.

I was told after histology that I needed chemotherapy and then Brachytherapy but I had a very bad reaction to the chemo and only had one session, the surgeon said that if I had any more it would end my life.

The brachytherapy was for me, very easy to cope with and at 15 - 20 minutes a week for 3 weeks it was over quickly.

i am now almost a year post surgery and trying to lose weight.  I have a check up in a week and im sure everything will be fine.

 I wanted to share my experience with you as it’s completely different from Wilma’s.  I wish you well in your journey and hope everything goes well for you.

Hugs

Linda
