Hi all

I am so frustrated it like everything goes wrong at the moment. I have been battling to get my heart rate down which only came to light when I had my Hysteroscopy. Now on three different tablets for it at home its been fine. I turned up at the hospital for my op on Monday they took blood and got me all gowned up ready then cancelled because of my heart rate. I know its best but I just wanted to get everything over with now they want to put a coil in. The last time I had a coil I was really in pain for months and ended up having to have it removed. so dreading it. Dutifully I turn up for the appointment and the clinical nurse after three-quarters of an hour couldn't do it. Now I am back at the hospital tomorrow for the consultant to do it. 

I am now swinging between being emotionally numb and just wanting to cry. Every examination puts me in pain for weeks as I have osteoarthritis in my hips and spine.  does anyone else feel the same? I feel so alone and fed up now.

sorry for moaning I know I am so lucky just needed to let off steam

  • Hi , firstly you can moan all you like, let the stream off best practice get out of your system, it’s totally understandable that your feeling the way you do. We all know how a cancer diagnosis can send us all in a flip of emotions without the complications that have to come with it.I have a dodgy heart rate but mine drops suddenly so not sure if thats the same as you or does your sky rocket. I am sorry  your in so much pain its really disheartening that you were all prepared and ready to go but for them to cancel, yes obviously it was in your best interest but it’s obviously going to be disappointing for you. I am sorry to hear also that they tried fitting the coil but were unsuccessful, fingers crossed that the consultant can pop it in with out too much pain and discomfort for you. fingers crossed for you and sending you some gentle hugs.
