After 12 months of having a discharge brownish on and off then yellow watery pink I finally got a new Dr who sent me for test.
It wasnt vaginal atrophy as was being treated for. I got a 15 mm grade 1 cancer and tomorrow having a hysterectomy. Had an ultrasound but not had a CT or MRI scan. I'm 65 years old and I'm a live in carer so now I'm basically homeless as my jobs already replaced me and said dont need me till I recover.
The gynocolgist says they going try help me stay in hospital long as possible. I hope can find a place to go afterwards to recover .
Hi Pippa,
glad to hear that you have had your operation, it must be a relief.
sending you all good wishes for your recovery.

Hi there Lamb yes I'm stiff but no pains at all . Still in hospital until I get help to find a place to stay. I am amazed as my high blood pressure has gone along with the fibroids i had as well was in the range 164/96 -196/96 was on pills to control it . Yesterday was 115/55 I am shocked that reading now its 136/67 seems fibroids were giving me the hypertension. Feeling ok only sore place is the stitches in my belly button and struggle on loo. I am feeling good hope to stay in hospital a bit longer as no support here just my job.. take care we getting good again xx Pippa
Many thanks yes its over and hopefully I been cured fingers crossed . Just stiff now and sore in stitched belly button but I'm amazed with the robotics incredible really . Dr says had a mass of fibroids and he couldnt see the cancer but hoping he got all of it . Take care Pippa xx
Yes been a roller coaster month and I am still reeling from it all. I am amazed at the amount of kind messages I had received from friends and well wishes I have yet to meet.

Together we will support each other through this journey Pippa xx think after this I am going to get married again I newrly lost him 2 months ago to covid now me in this battle . Yes I have been alone too long now need some TLC from my man . Soon as earn a bit more money and flights back on and after checks will be there with him so fingers crossed Pippa xx
