I had a phone call from the nurse at Gynaecology and she asked me to come into the office tomorrow for a chat. I thought oh no and asked her to say it and I have been diagnosed with very early stage Womb cancer. She is going to call me back tomorrow to let things skink in. I am going to have an MRI next week to see exactly what the situation is regarding the cancer stage and grade.
I have told my family and they are very supportive and my sister is here with me now and my friend who's also my career.
One of my concerns are that I all ready have a chronic health condition called Functional neurological disorder, which is a brain networking condition which gives me functional seizures not epilepsy and mobility impairment. I also have constant sinus infections from an allergy so I don't feel great a lot. I am now thinking is my increased fatigue and feeling of malaise I have been getting lately the cancer making me ill. Does early stage cancer make you feel rough?
Other than that I am trying not to get to far ahead of myself which as women know its really hard not too.
Hi Aderyn
I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis of womb cancer. I hope that your scan confirms that it is an early cancer.
I understand your worries about having pre existing health conditions and whether your increased fatigue and malaise are due to them or the cancer.
Looking back I was feeling quite tired and out of sorts before my diagnosis- however I had recently had covid and had a busy working life. I was early stage, high grade.
It is good that you have family support but do give the Support Line a call if talking things through would help.
Jane
