Uterine cancer

Hi Caz58 sorry to hear you are feeling depressed, especially with some lovely events coming up for you.  I read the same literature as you before my team confirmed where the cancer had recurred.  I was told that the vagina vault is the most common of recurrence. Your cancer has been caught and treated very early.  My oncologist who did my brachy said to me that although they was no evidence of disease on my CT scan as the tumor was removed by the biopsy, he said he would strongly recommend the brachy to protect my bladder and bowel.  So your brachy is also for this purpose, also if they thought the risk of recurrence was higher they would have thrown everything at you.  At the moment you are cancer free, the treatment is to reduce the risk of recurrance posed by your grade of cancer.  Maybe another talk with your CNS may support you. Like Little Ritter my recurrence was treatable and I have read on here that the 5 % risk of recurrance is treatable.  Enjoy your wedding and holiday, because you are cancer free and you have a high chance of staying so.

Hey you are right to be concerned my lovely ! And these treatments are pretty scary. To be honest I didn't use my dilators for 3 months after my 2nd diagnosis , and have used them only twice in the past 2 weeks, and all is OK.  

You don't need to man up, you have had major surgery for an illness that is horrible,we can do this together !

Xx

Hugs Caz

i need to stop wallowing in misery , so unlike me! Just want the brachytherapy out of the way & be told it’s finally all gone. Fear of the thoughts of it returning must not consume me! The weather isn’t helping! Everyone on here is so so kind. I’m so grateful & as we’ve said many times, nobody but us truly knows what we are all going through! X

Hi robbo, sorry for the late reply. I'm doing ok, just feel like I've fallen head first into a ditch with my feet and legs waving around in the air. Still been there before and once I get upright again I can start climbing out. Just think that for whatever reason everything is being chucked at me at the moment. My mother in law has decided to join in now having been picked up wandering aimlessly around her town centre as confused as anything and not making any sense. Luckily the staff in new look called the police and they got her back to her flat but she is now in hospital as things have not improved and she is a danger to herself as well as everybody else in her warden controlled block, having tried to light the electric fire with matches. Where she got them from beats me as we do her shopping and regularly check that nothing is in her flat she could harm herself with. She has now turned very aggressive blaming my husband's family for putting her in "prison" ..it's a locked ward and she can't get out.. and everyone has dumped her ..she's given birth to monstrous sons and they've put her out of her home, which she thinks is her office and nobody cares etc etc. Oh the joys of dementia! So she's going to need a care home now as well I think. She's going to be in the hospital a few more days whilst they run tests and is due to see a psychiatrist today..let's hope he doesn't need to see one after meeting her! So yes, life rolls on. My mum and dad have settled, mum's got cellulitis in her legs badly at the moment so we cannot wheel her round to see my dad because of the infection risk . The admin part is still giving me headaches with all its red tape and we have daily battles trying to get things sorted out but thanks for thinking of me. I will get through this and there will be a reason behind it, it's just not clear at the moment. I'm just glad I gave up work because I certainly haven't got time for that at the moment! Anyway, I hope everybody else is well and coping with treatments etc and getting good results. I will try and catch up with all the posts later on in the week. Until then God bless everyone. Love lamb.xx 

Oh Lamb I'm so sorry. My Dad has Alzheimer's and Dementia, but refuses to have anyone in at home to help him, he does everything himself ! If only. He is going to have to go into full time care as well. Gosh this life doesn't seem to get any easier does it ? 

Just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts,
