Hi all, bit of a random one but I didn’t want to know what happened during my surgery and I didn’t want to know what the histology said (big baby and didn’t want information to use on dr google as I am a googler). Would they tell me if there was something I really needed to know though? They said they were happy with how the surgery went and they did want they wanted. I will probably ask for all the information at some point just not ready to know yet but don’t want to be thinking things aren’t as bad when really they are just not been told. Not sure if that makes sense sorry x
Hi ermm yes I think they would tell u if it was something u really needed to know! But if they are happy with u and ur happy not knowing and just having treatment then that’s all good too!! I think the fear of not knowing is a fear in its self xxx
I think I will want to know eventually just not ready to at the moment. I know the main bits that it was contained but there was a question about lymph nodes in pelvis and neck so that is what the chemo is for. I know my bladder was attached to my womb when they did surgery but they haven’t said anything else. Just a little scared incase it’s in my bladder but because I have said I don’t want to know anything they aren’t telling me x
Yes that’s your choice and if that helps you to get threw all this then that’s good! I always google by diagnosis and it’s really unhelpful a lot of stuff on there is old data. Good luck with your chemo xxx
Hi Rach E, It is good that they are respecting your wishes and I am sure that they would of told you if anything was wrong and you needed further treatment. It takes time to process everything that you have been through on this roller coaster ride , sending love n hugs Em xxxx
