Hi Muse and RobotXXX, 

I just wondered how you both are getting on. I don't visit this site very often because I am trying to put the "C" out of my mind. I have been told I should talk to someone but I don't really want to. I just don't want to think about it and move on.

I don't know whether it's related but I have had consecutive viral infections including Covid since the end of October. I feel quite down and not very work motivated. Then I feel bad for complaining because there are many ladies on here who have it so much worse.

I just hope you both are doing well.

Hi again Avocado23, it’s good to see you - I did wonder how you got on with your histology results. I’m guessing from your post that you didn’t need any adjuvant treatment? From what you’ve said, it seems like you may be finding it difficult to move on. I’d recommend getting in touch with your CNS to enquire about a Life After Cancer course which most if not all hospitals do. Some do it as a one day course, others do it as a couple of hours one day a week for a few weeks. It’s designed to equip us to put things to rest and move on, and I think it might help. 

Hi MarmiteFan59,

Thanks for writing. Yes my histology results were good and no further treatment is needed other than 4 monthly checks. I think I posted the update on here somewhere.  I'll look into the Life after Cancer course. I hope you are doing well. 

Hello! Glad to hear your results were good and no further treatment is needed. I’m doing good. A few mechanical issues with the post surgery, back ache and a bit of a prolapse on rear vaginal wall ming going for a poo a little challenging . I just feel lucky really, l tell people I had cancer lite cause even though there was surgery I feel like I wasn’t even really ill. I have had a bit of a run off friends not being so lucky so maybe that’s why. The course sounds like a good idea. It helped me to do reading around the subject but I know that can freak summer people out. Let us know how the course goes if you decide to try it.
