Post op bleeding update

Hi chickpea, sorry you've had some worrying news.  Hopefully not too long to wait for the results.  

Sending hugs, Lesley xx

Hi Ohickpic,

I think we all dread this happening to us. I know I do. I am the same staging as you, and was told they would keep radiotherapy in case I needed it.

All the best xxxx

Hi chickplc,

 I hope you don't have too long to wait for results and spoil yourself with some treats tonight

Hi Arla

Thanks I feel a little bit raw I never feel optimistic when I go to the hospital they frighten the life out of me.  Interestingly when they speak to reassure me I never quite believe them.  I have never had the mri or CT scan after diagnosis they seem to have taken the view I'm low risk so these processes were not called for.  I did say to the consultant I'm suppose to be low grade etc and she said that it's risk.  Sorry to sound  negative I know they are professional s and caring I m just taking massive steps backwards.  Tomorrow is another day Xxx

Hi chickplc,

I know what you mean about not believing them, I always feel the same, I've had some different symptoms since my op in August 2017 and had them checked out at various points and I can never relax, I always think, but what if they miss something. My last check up got brought forward to February from march and now I'm waiting on a MRI scan in time for my August appointment, I've not had a MRI scan since before my operation. I go up and down in my emotions whilst I've been waiting, part of me wants it over and done and the other part thinks the longer I wait the better, I can't win lol. 

I keep trying to tell myself that they know their stuff and they will keep me right.

I have had a good cry in the car after a couple of my appointments, I think the anxiety builds so much that it needs a release.

I hope that you feel brighter tomorrow, I know how much waiting and wondering can drag your mood down

Well I've tried to be positive I've got on and off pain in the stomach around the scars bad wind, pains in the the legs front and back , back pain however when I see discharge and blood I go into over drive maybe we all have elements of these but we will have to see what the result of the biopsy is. XXX my sister bless her has been researching and she thinks it's graduation tissue because I had a single glossy blood clot I have been crying on her shoulder and is being supportive. Xx thank you for replying x 

I remember a few folk posting here with bleeding post op caused by granulation. I had some watery pink bleeding but they couldn't see anything when they checked it out. I had pain at my scars for a while after my op, past the six month point, but they went away eventually, hopefully your pains are to do with the healing process. I also had back and leg pains that worried me but I went to physio and they gave me exercises that took them away, I just have the odd niggle now and a random side pain that comes and goes. I developed a bit of ibs after my op too, that settled down eventually too, it's so difficult to know what to ask the doctor about, I just ask about everything. Did they say when you would hear back?

Hi the consultant said 2 weeks. She found the nodule with the internal, she couldn't see anything and she pressed my stomach and thought that was ok.  I don't know much about graduation the consultant mentioned something about tissue but she is awaiting the biopsy result she said she is worried and then said it could be cured with radiotherapy.  So I'm thinking more reoccurence and my hubby and sister are hoping for gradulation.

How are you feeling today? Have you got things you can do to keep busy whilst you wait for results? 

Xx

Hi I'm playing badminton later and my sister is visiting. Taking time off work but to be honest I just wondering why.  My CNS telephoned yesterday and just said wait for the result s. In the doctor's letter that she read out to me the consultant said she couldn't see anything but felt a tiny nodule. Xxx
