Hi everything a bit of a blur , I was bleeding g for 7 weeks on and off in September , tried to get an appointment in my gp surgery to no avail they just threw menapouse at me, I had no other symptoms apart from period like pain severe bloating and could feel lumps quote large between hips on both sides and one moved across to where my womb is my partner saw it move. Finally got gp appointment sent me to same day A and E, surgeon referred me to gynecologist but was puzzled said womb definitely distended, another visit to A and E and told to take painkillers every 2 hours , gp 3 more times bloods ok. Forward 27th December biopsy was told my inside should not look like that, 5 large polyps thickening of lining 17mm. Betwwen zapain making me constipated my stomach pain went ok different pain but that was heaven, gp thought that was strange at the time.Now rushing everything , had ct scan, Ultrasound, chest xray , mri on Sunday if am well enough full of cold then consultant on Tuesday 11th.
I am scared feel I cannot talk to anyone my partner has mental health issues with losing his parents and diabetes type 2 uncontrolled. I feel a bit let down by gp practice this could have been discovered much sooner my boss in work made me push them, also lost 3 stone since November as cannot eat very well.Apologies for long story bit lost
Hi Electra2
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis of womb cancer. You've had a lot happen in the last few months and I can understand how it must all feel a bit of a blur. I know with me once I started undergoing diagnosis everything can feel scary and overwhelming.
It is hard when you feel that you can not talk about it to anyone and I can understand why you do not want to talk to your partner about it at the moment. Why not give the Support Line a call and talk things through on there. They are lovely. Also feel free to share on here as much as you want to and to ask any questions- there are many lovely ladies on here who will want to offer you support.
I hope that your cold goes so that you can have your MRI on Sunday. In the meantime we are here if you need us.
Jane
