Tomorrow is my appointment and today has been the first day where I have been so stressed. Can’t concentrate on anything.
I was supposed to be at work tomorrow before my appointment but I think that won’t be possible.
my partner says I need to look after myself and not worry about work.
the belly pain is so bad at times
I am so scared about having a biopsy or hysteroscopy while awake
sorry for being a wimp
Oh no- I'm really sorry. I understand why you are upset
She didn’t even examine me.
my ultrasound scan isn’t till 2 weeks time
When they thought they might have to do a hysteroscopy on me, they offered me local and general anaesthetic, so you should have that option.
Biopsies aren’t that bad. I’ve had two without pain relief and I can’t even remember if there was pain now. I think it was like a pinch. But if they offer you pain relief, take it.
You’re not a wimp. My mum had ten kids on gas and air, and I say ouch at an eyebrow wax. We all have different pain thresholds and anxiety can make pain feel worse.
Take care of yourself and take the day off.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
