Brachytherapy and Dilators and life now!

Quick update from my last post, so my burning sensation after Brachytherapy started to be more of a problem so quick trip to my Local Tesco Pharmacy and she sent me away with some sachets for Cystis that initially worked a treat , but it reared its ugly head again  anyway the lovely lady at my local "Big Tesco" had said if it doesn't clear come back we can give you an antibiotic which was fab as to get into the Drs would have taken at least another day so its been nipped in the bud which is good

Dilators , well what can I say ... I have also tried  the natural method now , both methods do leave me with a bit of tummy ache but I am assuming this is something that will become less as its an area that's had a traumatic time after all!! Would be nice to know if the slight ache afterwards has been felt by other ladies as I keep having that its not cancer convo in my head.

Mentally ..doing ok just celebrated my 62nd Birthday never been so happy to be getting older, I can still have the odd moment when emotions sneak up and grab me and I get tearful and no idea why !

I am finally jetting off on my longed for holiday  when I was diagnosed as I am sure we all feel , I couldn't see past the Cancer , the  treatment,  the waiting for results ... and I don't think I will ever forget that dark period I am so very grateful to our NHS and Macmillan , I now try to take each day as it comes I do have the odd twinge /ache and I have to mentally say to myself " you do not have Cancer "  " It cant be back so soon" and similar conversations..I try no to burden my family especially hubby as in some ways this has effected him more as he couldn't help me .

To all of you on here I can never thank you enough for your support from the first panic stricken post to now, I will be staying around as I have still got my Genetics appointment to check if I do or don't have Lynch as I was showing a loss of MSH6 so I could be going on a different path but as my new mantra is "every day is a good day" that bridge will be crossed as and when.

Au revoir
