Help please

Can you give us a little more background. What tests have you had  to date? What outcomes?  This will give us some context..

Sorry Nightingale19.  I am 60 years old.  Started bleeding on 23 January, went to Doctors on 27 January.  Referred and had a hysteroscopy on 31 January.  Womb lining is 20mm which I know is bad and found a polyp.  Was booked in to have the polyp removed on 18 February but received a message today that this has been cancelled and I have to speak to the Staff Nurse on Monday.  So assuming it is bad news.  I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, ie did a nurse give them bad news as opposed to a doctor.  Thank you for responding x

Hi Georgie,

I had my hysterectomy booked, but 2 weeks beforehand I got a message to go on a Friday to have a premed, ready for the operation the following Tuesday!!! I immediately thought I must be bad. I was at the premed when the hospital rang my house to say the operation had been cancelled!!! I rang my CNS the following day as I was in a state! Apparently they had an emergency at the clinic, and it was decided I could wait! The outcome was no different for me, just annoying. So, try not to read too much into the change, it could be anything.

My consultant called me in early after my operation. Again, I was panicky. Turns out, she was going on holiday and wanted to give me the all clear before she went!! Does nothing for the blood pressure!!!!

Good luck xxxx

You are right there NannyAnny - thank you.  Where do all you amazing women on here get your strength?  

Hi Georgie1,

I too had an experience with  my Hospital, I was called in early for my operation & went into total panic mode. Turns out (once I had calmed down) that it was moved forward as someone else was not well enough to have their Surgery & so I was next in line.

So there may well be other reasons for the change in plan, and not necessarily bad ones. I understand this is a frantic time for you & we are always here to help you in any way we can.

Love & Hugs xx

Thank you just65.  I used to think I was a strong woman but this has absolutely crushed me.  I guess I am just feeling very sorry for myself and cannot see a future.  I do not want t offload on my family as they are already upset.  The kindness of strangers on here has overwhelmed me.  Thank you x

Hi just65, thank you for responding.  I used to think I was strong but this has just crushed me.  I cannot offload my negativity onto my family as they are upset enough.  I guess I am just feeling sorry for myself and cannot see a future.  The kindness of strangers on here is overwhelming xx

Hi Georgie1

You are NOT feeling sorry for yourself & it is normal to try & protect those you love from this, it is an emotional & stressful time that takes so much out of you & those around you. This is a huge shock to the system & all of a sudden your world is ripped from under your feet & I agree you cannot see a future but  believe me everyone on here knows exactly how you feel & what you are going through as we have all been there.

Be kind to yourself this will take time to absorb & adjust to, but you will get there as we all have.

Love & Hugs xx

Thank you just65.  I am going to take all your positivity and cling to it as I try to get some sleep.  Thank you,thank you.  Talking really helps xx

Hi Georgie1,

We are all here for you anytime you need us. Rest is very important too & you can ask anything you want as many times as you like or private message if you prefer.

Love & Hugs xx
