Hi everyone I had my total hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy on 20th, back home yesterday. Of course all the questions that I had ready in my head before I came home desterted me, and now I’m home they decided to surface again. I’ve managed...
I finished my radio and brachy mid May this year, have been fine, been getting my life back and just getting on with things, so “okay”. Then last week out of the blue, a local news item came up about fundraising for a special new radiotherapy machine...
Morning Ladies, Had my ct scan done for my 3 month check up (well 5 months it’s been lol) this morning. Feel fine at the moment and not stressing at the moment but not due to speak to my oncologist for about 6 weeks so I’m sure the anxiety will kick...
Hello everyone, I’m having a busy time with the NHS - they aren’t hanging around, which is great as I have two primary cancers simultaneously. Last week I had an MRI to see if the sarcoma had spread into my bowels etc, and then last Thursday I had a mastectomy...

Hello ladies, Hope you are all having a good week. My surgery was 3 weeks ago, I am 43 and had no menopause symptoms previously. My consultant says I can take estrogen HRT. I am thinking more for the heart and bones benefits, she said I can start...
I can’t imagine it’s just me that’s had rather a mixed bunch of things said when I’ve mentioned my diagnosis. What has been said to you that you would rather not have heard? I was diagnosed mid-November and have told relatively few people - partly because...
What post-treatment follow up did you have/are you having/will you have? My cancer at post-op histology (Feb 22) was grade 1, stage 2, and I had 25 x radio and 2 x brachy, finished mid-May 22. I was originally told one check up with the oncologist post...
My post hysterectomy histology results were grade 1 stage 2 and I then had 25 radio and 2 brachy. My oncologist decided to refer me for a DEXA scan of my pelvis and lower spine post treatment to check for osteoporosis or osteopenia because I was already...
