Hey there, not sure where to turn

Hi XxALBxX 

I'm very sorry to read of your diagnosis and that the mirena coil was unsuccessful. It is a lot to get your head round that you are now going to have surgery. Also, because of your age, there are fertility issues for you to deal with. Have you spoken to your husband about how you are feeling and asked his thoughts on it all? Please don't feel guilty about the fact that you have been diagnosed with cancer. How are you coping at work? I was diagnosed last January and worked up until my operation date. I now look back and I was very distracted, I was in awful pain at times. My manager piled the work on me as I was going to be off and I just broke down on my last day. The pressure was too much. As it is I didn't ever return to work. My story is a bit shocking but you can read it on my profile. Just click on my username.

Have you got a Macmillan nurse (CNS - clinical nurse specialist) at the hospital? Could you ring and speak to her? If not, I would recommend that you ring the Macmillan helpline and have a chat, you can speak to a nurse at certain times.  This is the link to contact https://www.macmillan.org.uk/about-us/contact-us

I think it would help you a lot to discuss the issues that you face. You are not on your own though, involve your husband as it affects you both as a couple. Look after yourself and keep posting there are a lot of lovely ladies in the group to offer advice and support.

Hi sistermoon. Thank you for much for your reply. Yh I have and he’s very supportive and we talk through things, and of course he’s there for me but he tells me I need to do what’s best for me and sometimes I just wish someone could help me with what to do for the best. I suffer quite bad with anxiety but for someone reason I’ve been ok the last 7 months. I’ve mostly been ok at work, then last night I just felt like I had a massive load of boulders on top of me and felt like everything was too much. And I don’t get why all of a sudden it’s not hitting me? 

I’ve read your story and I’m so so so sorry you’re going through this. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all these horrid times and your so brave for sharing your story and helping others  xx

Hi XxALBxX 

There is another thread on here called Newly diagnosed - anxious. Have a read through I think it may help. Remember if you need to talk - the Macmillan helpline - number link is above.

Thank you for your kind words.
