Womb cancer diagnosed

Hi HI my name is Mo I’m 63 was feeling well apart from sciatica and leg pain in bed at night had a croaky throat and sore throats occasionally but this was put down to my inhalers so I did have an X-ray on my hips and right knee but this was put down to being degenerative nothing serious, Dr also did blood test and I was low in B12, so had a course of tablets for this. Not long after this I noticed pink discharge was told to take urine sample in which came back with small amount of blood and repeat in 2 weeks Ingot straight onto the email to surgery and said don’t u think a lady of my age post menopausal and  bleeding should have further investigations, I had a phone call the next day for appt in the surgery Inwas examined by the prescribing nurse manager who was brilliant she examined me and said she could see pink discharge, discharge and soreness which I could feel.  The next step was referral to Gynaecologist before this appt happened I had a trans Vaginal examination in Ultrasound they told me my womb was thicker than they would like, also a blood test the Dr did was showing cancer markers were up.  When I had appt with gynaecologist the Dr did a hyteroscooy which she took biopsies ouch very painful think you should be given pain relief for this, the Dr then sat down with me and said it was cancer she could feel and see growths said it was quite bad but they could treat it, I said is that end of life TLC oh no she said we can treat it.  I was on my own my husband was in the reception waiting for me so he was brought to me as they were sorting out pre op for another biopsy as I would of bled too much.  As you can imagine this was devastating for all my family and friends I had my pre op assessment a few days later that went ok I had a letter for an appt for this over a month later I was so angry what was going to happen in between so I found out the number for the secretary of the consultant and my specialist nurse she managed to squeeze me into a clinic with the consultant he said they would be having an MDT meeting on the Monday and having a look at my biopsy results he more or less told me what the previous Dr had said so the nurse rang me on the Monday to say it was womb cancer they wanted to do the other biopsy to get more info and they booked me in for a CT scan and MRI I went for the CT scan the specialist nurse rang me with the results about a week later it was bad news they don’t like giving the info over the phone but I was prepared I had my husband and son his partner and their 2 dogs with me it had spread from the womb nodules in the pelvis under breast bone and multiple nodules in both my lungs we were all devastated thought this was the end so they weren’t giving me the MRI scan or the biopsy op as they weren’t operating just chemo and maybe hormone treatment it’s not curable just treatable as they call it palliative care the whole family are so devastated my husband is beside himself, I’ve been for my oncology appt and they have given me a fulL MOT assessment lungs kidneys all Ok no fluid in stomach I’d just had a chest infection over Xmas so was relieved my chest was ok my first appt is 14 th Jan think I had a cancellation I’m having 2 drugs in a drip every 3 weeks over 18; weeks so the fight is on I  a strong women so hoping I will be ok with it as if not there is only hormone treatment I’m sure I’ll be fine they told me all the effects it may have I’m sure you will all know who’s had this treatment. You won’t believe this but when I came back from the oncology I started with a urine infection had antibiotics off the Dr yesterday and this has started to improve so hope that will be it now until my chemo sorry for this long story but wanted to put it out there I’ve got a good support network so I  lucky there and I’m very positive so got my boxing gloves on ready to smash it in the face 

kind regards to I all 

Mo
